Application

cis-(+)-Limonene oxide can be used as:
  • A monomer to prepare poly(limonene)carbonate by Al(III) catalyzed coupling reaction with CO2.
  • A reactant to prepare trans-diaxial diol via diastereoselective ring-opening reaction using molybdenum complex catalyst.
  • A reactant to synthesize trans-dihydrocarvone via isomerization reaction in the presence of silica-supported tungstophosphoric acid as a catalyst and dialkylcarbonate as a green solvent.

cis-(+)-Limonene oxide is a valuable chiral terpene oxide building block.

Amino-triphenolate derived Al(III) complexes combined with suitable nucleophiles have been investigated as binary catalysts for the coupling of limonene oxide and carbon dioxide to afford alternating polycarbonates. These catalysts are able to produce stereoregular, perfectly alternating trans-polymers from cis-limonene oxide
