Isoprene rule:

  • According to the isoprene rule, there are no 1-1 or 4-4 linkages in most naturally occurring terpenes.
  • Two or more isoprene molecules are connected in the production of terpenes.
  • Given that the head and tail of the molecule are predominantly engaged in the linking, there are three possibilities for linking between two isoprene molecules:
  • 1-1 Linkage:
  • One isoprene molecule's head could connect to the head of another isoprene molecule.
  • 1–4 Linkage:
  • One isoprene molecule's head could connect to the tail of another isoprene molecule.
  • 4-4 Linkage:
  • One isoprene molecule's tail could connect to the tail of another isoprene molecule.
