Application: | (+)-Dihydrocarvone may be used in the following processes: • Synthesis of dispiro 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes, which show potent anti-malarial activity. • Synthesis of an epoxylactone by oxidation, which can undergo copolymerization with ε-caprolactone to form cross-linked copolymers with shape memory properties. • Synthesis of α-Cyperone, a eudesmane type sesquiterpenoid compound with potent insecticidal activity. |
General description: | (+)-Dihydrocarvone, a monoterpenoid compound found in caraway oil, is a key building block to synthesize sesquiterpenes. It is generally produced either by the hydrogenation of carvone or oxidation of limonene. |
