  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 ...

    The dehydrogenation of carvone with a palladium-carbon catalyst has been established. [5] It has also been prepared by transalkylation of isopropylated cresols. [19] It is extracted from Origanum oil by means of a 50% potash solution. It is a thick oil that sets at -20 °C to a mass of crystals of melting point 0 °C, and boiling point 236 ...
