Two diastereomers of d-limonene-derived five-membered cyclic carbonates were prepared from the corresponding isomers of d-limonene oxide with CO2. Their syntheses were catalyzed by commercially available tetrabutylammonium chloride with high stereoselectivity. The reaction behavior dependent on the reaction conditions such as CO2 pressure was clarified.

A tungsten-based polyoxometalate catalyst employing aqueous H2O2 as a benign oxidant has been used for the solvent free catalytic epoxidation of the trisubstituted alkene bonds of a wide range of biorenewable terpene substrates. This epoxidation protocol has been scaled up to produce limonene oxide, 3-carene oxide and α-pinene oxide on a multigram scale, with the catalyst being recycled three times to produce 3-carene oxide. Epoxidation of the less reactive disubstituted alkene bonds of terpene substrates could be achieved by carrying out catalytic epoxidation reactions at 50 °C. Methods have been developed that enable direct epoxidation of untreated crude sulfate turpentine to afford 3-carene oxide, α-pinene oxide and β-pinene oxide. Treatment of crude epoxide products (no work-up) with a heterogeneous acid catalyst (Amberlyst-15) results in clean epoxide hydrolysis to afford their corresponding terpene-anti-diols in good yields.

Limonene oxidation over Cu-nanostructured mesoporous materials was studied. Three solids with different copper content were synthesized employing the template-ion exchange method, and physically-chemically analyzed by a multi-technical characterization. The performance of the molecular sieves as catalysts in the liquid phase oxyfunctionalization of limonene, employing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or t-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidants was evaluated. All synthesized Cu-MCM materials were active in the reaction. The obtained results showed that the used oxidant had an important influence on the products distribution under the employed conditions. With H2O2, compounds of high added value such as limonene oxide, carveol and carvone were mainly obtained. Meanwhile, with TBHP, limonene hydroperoxide turned out to be the major product. Finally, a reaction mechanism was proposed for each oxidant.
