描述
(1s,2r,4r)-1,2-epoxy-p-menth-8-ene, also known as limonene-1,2-epoxide or 1,2-epoxylimonene, is a member of the class of compounds known as oxepanes. Oxepanes are compounds containing an oxepane ring, which is a seven-member saturated aliphatic heterocycle with one oxygen and six carbon atoms (1s,2r,4r)-1,2-epoxy-p-menth-8-ene is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). (1s,2r,4r)-1,2-epoxy-p-menth-8-ene is a green tasting compound found in lemon and wild celery, which makes (1s,2r,4r)-1,2-epoxy-p-menth-8-ene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
