  2. Carvone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carvone

    Carvone may be synthetically prepared from limonene by first treating limonene nitrosyl chloride. Heating this nitroso compound gives carvoxime. Treating carvoxime with oxalic acid yields carvone. [14] This procedure affords R-(−)-carvone from R-(+)-limonene. The major use of d-limonene is as a precursor to S-(+)-carvone. The large scale ...

  3. Chiral drugs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiral_drugs

    An enantiomeric pair (S,S)- and (R,R)-ethambutol, along with the achiral stereoisomer called meso-form, it holds a diastereomeric relationship with the optically active stereoisomers. The activity of the drug resides in the (S,S)-enantiomer which is 500 and 12 fold more potent than the (R,R)-ethambutol and the meso-form. The drug had initially ...

  4. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    Dextrorotation and laevorotation (also spelled levorotation) [1] [2] in chemistry and physics are the optical rotation of plane-polarized light.From the point of view of the observer, dextrorotation refers to clockwise or right-handed rotation, and laevorotation refers to counterclockwise or left-handed rotation.

  5. Enantiomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiomer

    Structures of the two enantiomeric forms (S left, R right) of mecoprop Enantiomers of citalopram. The top is (R)-citalopram and the bottom is -citalopram. An example of such an enantiomer is the sedative thalidomide, which was sold in a number of countries around the world from 1957 until 1961. It was withdrawn from the market when it was found ...

  6. Limonene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limonene

    [1] [2] It is also used in chemical synthesis as a precursor to carvone and as a renewables-based solvent in cleaning products. [1] The less common (-)- isomer has a piny , turpentine -like odor, and is found in the edible parts of such plants as caraway , dill , and bergamot orange plants.

  7. Chirality (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(chemistry)

    For example, a common case is a tetrahedral carbon bonded to four distinct groups a, b, c, and d (Cabcd), where swapping any two groups (e.g., Cbacd) leads to a stereoisomer of the original, so the central C is a stereocenter. Many chiral molecules have point chirality, namely a single chiral stereogenic center that coincides with an atom.

    Complaints talk about the keto-friendly dish being bland as well as smaller than the package insinuates, but also soggy no matter how they’re cooked. Some products at Costco seem to be a ...

  9. Enone–alkene cycloadditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enone–alkene_cycloadditions

    In 1908, it was reported that exposure of carvone to "Italian sunlight" for one year gives carvone-camphor. [2] Subsequent investigations demonstrated the utility of the photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition of enones to alkenes, requiring only "sunlight in California for 6.5 months".
