Va. Startseva et al., trans-diepoxy derivative of limonene. Synthesis, structure, and products of oxirane ring opening with sulfur-containing reagents, RUSS J ORG, 37(1), 2001, pp. 34-36
Pure trans-diepoxy derivative of limonene was synthesized for the first tim
e. Its reactions with sulfur-containing nucleophiles in basic medium result
ed in formation of polyfunctional derivatives of the menthane series, 2,9-b
is(R-thio)-trans-p-menthane-1,8-diols.
