| Abstract: | In this paper we report a simple methodology for obtaining (+) trans - 1,2 - epoxylimonene (1b) in high purity (>99% HRGC) and reasonable quantity. The mixture of 1a and 1b in CH2Cl2 is stirred with 1M NaHSO3 in water. Under these conditions 1a is completely destroyed, while 1b is only partially destroyed. |
