General description

(+)-Carvone (S-carvone), is a monoterpene which has the ability to affect regulation of plant growth and development and microbial activity, it can also prevent sprouting in potato, through inhibition of the induction of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, thereby blocking suberisation.

Application

Response surface methodology was applied in optimizing the asymmetric bioreduction of (4S)-(+)-carvone to dihydrocarvone (with low incidence of unsought side reactions) by using whole-cells of Cryptococcus gastricus. A factorial design (2(5)) including five independent variables was performed: X(1)=incubation time; X(2)=pH;

The total synthesis of (+)-cyperolone, an eudesmane-derived sesquiterpenoid from Cyperus rotundus, is described. The de novo synthesis was accomplished via a 15 step sequence starting from (R)-(-)-carvone.

In this study we demonstrate the separation of D- and L-carvone enantiomers in samples of caraway seed, dill seed, native spearmint and scotch spearmint essential oils using an Astec CHIRALDEX G-TA capillary GC column.
