General description

(+)-Dihydrocarvone, a monoterpenoid compound found in caraway oil, is a key building block to synthesize sesquiterpenes. It is generally produced either by the hydrogenation of carvone or oxidation of limonene.

Application

(+)-Dihydrocarvone may be used in the following processes:
  • Synthesis of dispiro 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes, which show potent anti-malarial activity.
  • Synthesis of an epoxylactone by oxidation, which can undergo copolymerization with ε-caprolactone to form cross-linked copolymers with shape memory properties.
  • Synthesis of α-Cyperone, a eudesmane type sesquiterpenoid compound with potent insecticidal activity.

Cannabis research has historically focused on the most prevalent cannabinoids. However, extracts with a broad spectrum of secondary metabolites may have increased efficacy and decreased adverse effects compared to cannabinoids in isolation. Cannabis's complexity contributes to the length and breadth
