(S)-(−)-Limonene, a compound extracted from citrus fruit peels. As a solvent, it is particularly effective in dissolving non-polar substances, facilitating their dispersion in experimental solutions. This characteristic is where it is used to enhance the extraction and isolation of various compounds from plant materials. The ability of (S)-(−)-Limonene to interact with non-polar molecules simplifies the process of purifying specific substances needed for further study and experimentation. (S)-(−)-Limonene is integral in organic synthesis, where it serves as a chiral auxiliary. This role is critical as it aids in the production of enantiomerically pure compounds, which are for specific studies in stereochemistry. By influencing the stereochemistry of reactions, (S)-(−)-Limonene facilitates the controlled synthesis of chiral molecules.
