-
step 3 and 4 of monoterpene biosynthesis, geranyl diphosphate is first ionized and isomerized to produce linalyl diphosphate, which either produces the acyclic monoterpenes or the alpha-terpinyl cation, the universal intermediate for cyclic monoterpenes and transformation of the parent structures to various derivatives
limonene is a cyclic monoterpene, minor constituent of the spike lavender oil
