Description

(Z)-Limoneneoxide,cis-1,2-Epoxy-p-Menth-8-Ene is a high-purity, chiral epoxide derivative of limonene, serving as a versatile and valuable synthetic intermediate. Its rigid bicyclic structure and reactive oxirane ring make it a critical building block for the synthesis of complex fragrance molecules, flavor compounds, and fine chemicals. This product is essential for R&D chemists and manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to create or modify terpene-based structures with high stereochemical fidelity.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Synthesis: A key chiral intermediate for creating and modifying high-value terpenoid aroma chemicals, imparting fresh, citrus, or woody notes.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive compounds derived from terpene scaffolds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in asymmetric synthesis and catalysis for producing specialty chemicals.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the development of novel, potentially bioactive compounds for crop protection and agrochemical applications.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic synthesis, particularly in epoxide ring-opening reactions and stereoselective transformations.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-Limoneneoxide is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by GC or HPLC, to ensure high chemical and isomeric purity suitable for demanding synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
