Details
Model Number: GK-305 Brand Name: GENPHOAL Key Specifications/Special Features: Limonene is colourless liquid hydrocarbon classified as cyclic terpeneMore common D-isomer possesses strong smell of oranges[1] It is used in chemical synthesis as precursor to carvone and as renewables-based solvent in cleaning productsLimonene takes its name from the lemon, as the rind of the lemon, like other citrus fruits, contains considerable amounts of this compound, which contributes to their odorLimonene is a chiral molecule, and biological sources produce one enantiomer: the principal industrial source, citrus fruit, contains D-limonene ((+)-limonene), which is the (R)-enantiomer (CAS number 5989-27-5, EINECS number 227-813-5). Racemic limonene is known as dipentene.[2] D-Limonene is obtained commercially from citrus fruits through two primary methods: centrifugal separation or steam distillationChemical reactions [edit]Limonene is relatively stable terpene and can be distilled without decomposition, although at elevated temperatures it cracks to form isoprene[3] It oxidizes easily in moist air to produce carveol, carvone and limonene oxide[4] With sulfur, it undergoes dehydrogenation to P-cymene
[5]Limonene occurs naturally as the (R)-enantiomer, but racemizes to dipentene at 300°C
When warmed with mineral acid, limonene isomerizes to the conjugated diene α-terpinene (which can also easily be converted to p-cymene)
Evidence for this isomerization includes the formation of diels-alder adducts between α-terpinene adducts and maleic anhydride

Possible to effect reaction at one of the double bonds selectively
Anhydrous hydrogen chloride reacts preferentially at the disubstituted alkene, whereas epoxidation with mCPBA occurs at the trisubstituted alkene

In another synthetic method Markovnikov addition of trifluoroacetic acid followed by hydrolysis of the acetate gives terpineol

Biosynthesis [edit]

Limonene is formed from geranyl pyrophosphate, via cyclization of neryl carbocation or its equivalent as shown
[6] Final step involves loss of proton from the cation to form the alkene
