Ocimene refers to several isomeric organic compounds. The ocimenes are monoterpenes found within a variety of plants and fruits. α-Ocimene and β-ocimene differ in the position of one double bond. α-Ocimene is 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-octatriene. β-Ocimene is 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-octatriene. β-Ocimene can also exist in two stereoisomeric forms, cis and trans about the central double bond. The ocimenes are often found naturally as mixtures of the various forms. The mixture is an oil with a pleasant odor which is used in perfumery. It is nearly insoluble in water, but soluble in most common organic solvents.

3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) is a metabolite of norepinephrine degradation. In the brain, it is the principal norepinephrine metabolite. It is released into the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and a blood sample of it may therefore be an indication of recent sympathetic nervous system activity.

Abietic acid (also known as abietinic acid or sylvic acid), a resin acid, is the primary irritant in pine wood and resin, isolated from rosin (via isomerization) and is the most abundant of several closely related organic acids that constitute most of rosin, the solid portion of the oleoresin of coniferous trees. Its ester is called an abietate.

2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), a synthetic auxin, is a chlorophenoxy acetic acid herbicide used to defoliate broad-leafed plants. It was developed in the late 1940s and was widely used in the agricultural industry until being phased out, starting in the late 1970s due to toxicity concerns. Agent Orange, a defoliant used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War, was equal parts 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D.
