Product Information

• Name: (+)-Limonene oxide,mixture of cis/trans isomers
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Limonene oxide is a mixture of cis/trans isomers that belongs to the group of aziridines. It can be produced by catalytic ring-opening polymerization, or by copolymerization with other monomers. Limonene oxides are obtained as a mixture of cis and trans isomers. The trans isomer has been reported to have a shorter reaction time and higher selectivity than the cis isomer. Limonene oxide can be used in the production of polycarbonates, which are used in many different products such as containers for food and drink, packaging materials, and electronics. Limonene oxide can also be used for the synthesis of epoxides and n-oxides. These compounds are used in medical applications such as anti-cancer drugs, antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, contraceptives, and more.
