6485-40-1 Usage
Description
L-(-)-Carvone is the principal odor component of spearmint. It is with a refreshingly cool, minty odor and taste. It is used as flavor ingredient in a variety of foods and beverages, as well as in toothpaste and mouthwash. It is used as a fragrance in personal care products. It is intended for use in the manufacture of an area repellent for mosquitoes and biting flies. L-(-)-carvone is also used in agriculture as a sprout inhibitor of potatoes.

Chemical Properties
Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 6485-40-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. clear colorless to pale yellow liquid
2. Caravone occurs in different forms. l-Carvone exhibits odor of spearmint, while d-carvone exhibits odor reminiscent
of caraway.
Occurrence
R-Carvone is the main substance in spearmint oil, also present in toothpastes; it is the cause of delayed-type allergy resulting in cheilitis, but Hansson et al. also described a case of angioedema of the lips appearing within minutes after contact with toothpaste, with an open test resulting in an immediate and strong reaction to carvone.
Uses
(R)-(-)-Carvone is used in the flavor and food industry such as chewing gum additives. It is used in air freshening products such as in essential oils as well as in aromatherapy and alternative medicine. It is used to prepare carvomenthol, carvomenthone, dihydrocarvone, carveol and limonene. It reacts with lithium dimethylcuprate to place a methyl group trans to the isopropenyl group with good stereoselectivity. It is also used as a mosquito repellent and prevent premature sprouting of potatoes. Further, it is employed as an important starting material for the synthesis of enantiopure (R)-(+)-3-methyl-6-isopropenyl-cyclohept-3-enone-1 and (4S,6R,7R)-trihydroxy-1-octyne derivatives. It is utilized as a vital raw material for the asymmetric total synthesis of natural products. In addition to this, it is used as a chiral starting material.
Definition
ChEBI: A carvone having (R) configuration.
Aroma threshold values
Detection: d-Carvone: 6.7 to 820 ppb; l-carvone: 2.7 to 600 ppb
General Description
(-)-Carvone, a monoterpene ketone which is the main active component of mentha plant species like Mentha spicata. It has antinociceptive activity which is found to be associated with decreased peripheral nerve excitability.
Safety Profile
Poison by intravenous
route. Moderately toxic by ingestion. When
heated to decomposition it emits acrid
smoke and irritating fumes.
Synthesis
Carvone occurs in the dextro, levo and racemic form; l-carvone can be isolated from the essential oil of spearmint or
is commercially synthesized from d-limonene; d-carvone is usually prepared by fractional distillation of oil of caraway, also from
dillseed and dillweed oils, but this type differs in odor and flavors.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 6485-40-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,4,8 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6485-40:
(6*6)+(5*4)+(4*8)+(3*5)+(2*4)+(1*0)=111
111 % 10 = 1
So 6485-40-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Tuning of α-Silyl Carbocation Reactivity into Enone Transposition: Application to the Synthesis of Peribysin D, E-Volkendousin, and E-Guggulsterone
Athawale, Paresh R.,Zade, Vishal M.,Rama Krishna, Gamidi,Reddy, D. Srinivasa
supporting information, p. 6642 - 6647 (2021/09/02)
A reliable method for enone transposition has been developed with the help of silyl group masking. Enantio-switching, substituent shuffling, and Z-selectivity are the highlights of the method. The developed method was applied for the first total synthesis of peribysin D along with its structural revision. Formal synthesis of E-guggulsterone and E-volkendousin was also claimed using a short sequence.
Clean protocol for deoxygenation of epoxides to alkenes: Via catalytic hydrogenation using gold

The epoxidation of olefin as a strategy to protect carbon-carbon double bonds is a well-known procedure in organic synthesis, however the reverse reaction, deprotection/deoxygenation of epoxides is much less developed, despite its potential utility for the synthesis of substituted olefins. Here, we disclose a clean protocol for the selective deprotection of epoxides, by combining commercially available organophosphorus ligands and gold nanoparticles (Au NP). Besides being successfully applied in the deoxygenation of epoxides, the discovered catalytic system also enables the selective reduction N-oxides and sulfoxides using molecular hydrogen as reductant. The Au NP catalyst combined with triethylphosphite P(OEt)3 is remarkably more reactive than solely Au NPs. The method is not only a complementary Au-catalyzed reductive reaction under mild conditions, but also an effective procedure for selective reductions of a wide range of valuable molecules that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even difficult to access by alternative synthetic protocols or by using classical transition metal catalysts.

Catalytic performance of bulk and colloidal Co/Al layered double hydroxide with Au nanoparticles in aerobic olefin oxidation
Leandro, Sónia R.,Fernandes, Cristina I.,Viana,Mourato,Vaz, Pedro D.,Nunes, Carla D.
, (2019/08/07)
A Co/Al layered double hydroxide material was synthesized in both bulk and exfoliated (colloidal) forms. Anion exchange with methionine allowed immobilization of Au nanoparticles previously prepared by a biomimetic method using an anti-oxidant tea aqueous extract to reduce the Au salt solution. The catalytic performance of bulk and exfoliated clays Au-hybrid materials was assessed in aerobic olefin epoxidation. Both catalysts were very active towards the epoxide products and with very interesting substrate conversion levels after 80 h reaction time. The Au-exfoliated material, where the nanosheets work as large ligands, yielded higher product stereoselectivity in the case of limonene epoxidation. This arises from a confined environment around the Au nanoparticles wrapped by the clay nanosheets modulating access to the catalytic active centres by reagents. Mechanistic assessment was also accomplished for styrene oxidation by DFT methods.
