Turpentine Oil. The world s largest-volume essential oil, turpentine [8006-64-2] is produced ia many parts of the world. Various species of piaes and balsamiferous woods are used, and several different methods are appHed to obtain the oils. Types of turpentines include dry-distiUed wood turpentine from dry distillation of the chopped woods and roots of pines steam-distilled wood turpentine which is steam-distilled from pine wood or from solvent extracts of the wood and sulfate turpentine, which is a by-product of the production of sulfate ceUulose. From a perfumery standpoint, steam-distilled wood turpentine is the only important turpentine oil. It is rectified to yield pine oil, yellow or white as well as wood spirits of turpentine. Steam-distilled turpentine oil is a water-white mobile Hquid with a refreshing warm-balsamic odor. American turpentine oil contains 25—35% P-pinene (22) and about 50% a-pinene (44). European and East Indian turpentines are rich in a-pinene (44) withHtfle P-pinene (22), and thus are exceUent raw materials... 

Nature produces a tremendous amount of methyl aleohol, simply by the fermentation of wood, grass, and other materials made to some degree of eellulose. In faet, methyl aleohol is known as wood aleohol, along with names sueh as wood spirits and methanol (its proper name the proper names of all aleohols end in -ol). Methyl aleohol is a eolorless liquid with a eharaeteristie aleohol odor. It has a flash point of 54°F, and is highly toxie. It has too many eommereial uses to list here, but among them are as a denaturant for ethyl alcohol (the addition of the toxie ehemieal methyl aleohol to ethyl aleohol in order to form denatured aleohol), antifreezes, gasoline additives, and solvents. No further substitution of hydroxyl radieals is performed on methyl aleohol.

Alethylated spirit, or spirits of wine 60—70 over-proof, may generally replace the more costly absolute alcohol as a solvent after undergoing a process of purification. The methylated spirit must be of the old kind, co-nsisting of a mixture of 9 parts spirit of wine and i part purified wood-spirit, without the... 

Commercial methyl alcohol is obtained by purifying wood spirit. It often contains a little acetone, which may be detected by the iodoform reaction (see p. 50). It may, if necessary, be purified by boiling it, using an upright condenser, with 3—4 percent, of solid... 

Commercial acetic acid is manufactured fiom pyroligneous acid obtained in the destructive distillation of wood. The latter is neutralised with lime, and separated by distillation from wood-spirit and acetone. The crude calcium acetate, which has a dark colour, is then distilled with the requisite quantity of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Anhydrous or glacial acetic acid is obtained by distilling fused sodium acetate with concentrated sulphuric acid.

Methyl alcohol, CH2OH, also called wood alcohol or wood spirit, since it was formerly obtained from the destructive distillation of wood. It has also been synthesised from carbon monoxide and hydrogen or by fermentation of various sugar containing crops. Used as a part replacement for petrol in Gasohol to deliver a more environmentally friendly fuel, i.e., from renewable resources. 

However, if you link the hydroxyl group with the methane molecule rather than the ethane, you get the potentially toxic chemical called methyl alcohol, or wood spirit. Similarly, if you add what s called an aldehyde group (-CHO) instead of the hydroxyl group, you will get one of a variety of chemicals called aldehydes, of which a common one is the gas formaldehyde (HCHO), widely used in the manufacture of plastics and glues. This gas can be an irritant and potentially dangerous if inhaled. 

There s a good reason why methanol is commonly called wood alcohol. The early commercial source was the destructive distillation of the fresh-cut lumber from hardwood trees. When wood is heated without access to air at temperatures above 500°F, it decomposes into charcoal and a volatile fraction. Among the compounds in the volatile fraction is methanol. Hence, the name wood alcohol or wood spirits.

Methanol, CHgOH, also known as wood spirit , was produced by destructive distillation of wood. Today, most of the methanol is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide at high pressure and temperature and in the presence of ZnO - CraOg catalyst.

The first synthesis of an organic fluoride was devised by the French chemists, Dumas and Peligot.10 During a detailed study of the chemistry of methanol (wood spirit), dimethyl sulfate and anhydrous potassium fluoride were heated together in a glass vessel. Fluoromethane was formed, and characterized, its vapor density being determined (presumably by Dumas method).
