Abstract:

Turpentine is the cheapest essential oil with the biggest yield in the world,the Chinese yield taking the second place. Its main compositions are α-pinene and β-pinene. It has the unique advantages of chemical structure and reaction characteristics to develop insecticide chemicals,and has the advantage of nature and abundance,so the prospects of its developing series of insecticide chemicals are good. The insecticide chemicals developed from turpentine are mainly synergist of insecticide,terpenoid repellents and juvenile hormone analogs. The research status and the prospects of these chemicals in the world were summarized and analyzed in this paper. At the same time,one new synergist of insecticide and one new terpenoid repellent synthesized by authors were introduced.

Key words: turpentine, synergist of insecticide, terpenoid repellents, juvenile hormone analogs
