calledterpenes.
• Terpenoids are compounds derived from a combination of two
or more isoprene units. Isoprene is a five carbon unit,
chemically known as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene.
• According to the isoprene rule proposed by Leopold Ruzicka,
terpenoids arise from head-to-tail joining of isoprene units.
Carbon 1 is called the ‘head’ and carbon 4 is the ‘tail’.
• For example, myrcene is a simple 10-carbon-containing
terpenoid formed from the head to-tail union of two isoprene
units as follows1
