  • Applications

    Carvone-5,6-oxide, trans-(+)- (CAS 36616-60-1) is an enone epoxide derived from the monoterpene carvone and is used as a versatile chiral building block: its strained epoxide enables regio- and stereoselective ring openings to afford diols, amino alcohols, halohydrins, thioethers, and azides, providing rapid access to terpenoid, bicyclic/spiro frameworks and to carveol, carvotanacetone, and menthane derivatives; in flavor and fragrance work it is employed primarily as a chiral intermediate to tune minty, caraway, and spearmint notes or to make aroma ingredients with improved stability and cleaner profiles compared to carvone; in research it serves as a model substrate to probe epoxide-opening and additions to epoxy enones, to study chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity under acid/base catalysis and with epoxide hydrolases, and as a reference in chiral GC/LC method development; in bio-based materials it functions as a terpene epoxide precursor for epoxy resins, coatings, and adhesives cured by amines/anhydrides or UV, supporting partial petrochemical replacement; its defined trans-(+) stereochemistry also makes it useful as a reference standard and as a ligand/organocatalyst precursor in asymmetric synthesis, and as an intermediate toward agrochemical actives, insect pheromones, and flavor agents.
