In fact, though, the decarboxylation of a β-keto acid and the decarboxylation of mevalonate 5-diphosphate are closely related.

These compounds, which include monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, play essential roles in ecological interactions and have applications in medicine and perfumery. The synthesis of terpenes involves various reactions, showcasing the diverse reactivity of alkenes. Their structure and functional groups significantly influence their properties and biological activity.

Carbon 1 is called the head of the molecule; carbon 4 is called the tail. Since the isoprene molecule has five carbon atoms, the number of carbon atoms in the molecule of a terpene/terpenoid is a multiple of five. The difference between terpenes and terpenoids is that terpenes are hydrocarbons, whereas terpenoids contain oxygen.

They play crucial roles in various physiological processes, including inflammation, pain, fever, and regulation of blood flow. Prostaglandins are synthesized through cyclooxygenase enzymes, leading to diverse biological effects. Eicosanoids can also influence immune responses and are implicated in numerous diseases.

Isolation of these substances from the various parts of plants, even from the wood in some cases, by steam distillation or ether extraction gives what are known as essential oils.

A majority of these compounds are found only in plants, but some of the larger and more complex terpenes (e.g. squalene & lanosterol) occur in animals.
