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.
