General description

Limonene oxide, also known as limonene 1,2-epoxide, is a monoterpene that can be prepared from limonene. It has antinociceptive and antitumoral activities and is used in many products like food additives, cosmetics, and perfumes.

Application

(+)-Limonene oxide (mixture of cis and trans) undergoes biocatalytic resolution in the presence of epoxide hydrolase to form enantiomerically pure cis- and trans-limonene oxides.
