General description

(S)-(+)-Carvone, a monoterpene found mainly in caraway and dill seed oils, is used in cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical preparations.

Application

(S)-(+)-Carvone can be used as a starting material to synthesize:
  • (-)-Samaderine Y, a pentacyclic quassinoid.
  • (-)-Ambrox, a terpenoid responsible for the odor of ambergris.
  • 3β-Acetoxydrimenin (a sesquiterpene) via conjugated addition of potassium cyanide followed by base catalyzed Robinson annulation reaction.
  • Thapsigargin family members such as trilobolide, nortrilobolide, and thapsivillosin F.

Packaging

(S)-(+)-Carvone, a monoterpene found mainly in caraway and dill seed oils, is used in cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical preparations.
