Description

(+)-Limonene Oxide 97% Mixture Of Cis&Trans is a high-purity, chiral epoxide derived from the natural terpene limonene. This compound serves as a versatile and valuable chiral building block and intermediate in organic synthesis, prized for its ability to impart stereochemistry into target molecules. It is essential for R&D chemists and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance industries seeking to develop or manufacture enantiomerically pure products.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used in the asymmetric synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules.
• Agrochemical Production: Serves as a key precursor for the development of chiral pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy and selectivity.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Acts as a starting material for the synthesis of complex, high-value aroma chemicals and flavor compounds.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A valuable reagent for constructing oxygen-containing heterocycles and for studying stereoselective ring-opening reactions.
• Polymer Modification: Can be used to introduce functional epoxide groups into polymers or as a monomer for specialized resin formulations.
• Catalysis and Ligand Development: Employed in the preparation of chiral ligands and catalysts for asymmetric transformations.

Quality Control

Our (+)-Limonene Oxide is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity and assay determination, to ensure it meets the specified 97% minimum purity and consistent isomeric ratio. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its epoxide functionality and light-sensitive nature, prolonged exposure to light or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
