(–)-α-Pinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.119, (–)-α-pinene/(–)-camphene synthase, (–)-α-pinene cyclase) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (–)-α-pinene-forming].[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geranyl diphosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (–)-α-pinene + diphosphate

Cyclase II of Salvia officinalis (sage) gives about equal parts (–)-α-pinene, (–)-β-pinene and (–)-camphene.
