Chemical Properties |
colourless or light yellow liquid |
Chemical Properties |
Dipentene has a pleasant, lemon-like odor free from camphoraceous and turpentine-like notes. Limonene is the most important and widespread terpene; it is known in the d- and l- optically active forms and in the optically inactive dl-form (known as dipentene). |
Uses |
Dipentene is used for perfuming and to mask odor. It is a chemical constituent of citrus oil. |
Preparation |
Dipentene may be obtained by steam distillation of citrus peels and pulp resulting from the production of juice and cold pressed oils, or from deterpenation of citrus oils; it is sometimes redistilled. |
Aroma threshold values |
Detection: 4 to 229 ppb |
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 30 ppm: sweet, orange, citrus and terpy. |
General Description |
A colorless liquid with an odor of lemon. Flash point 113°F. Density about 7.2 lb /gal and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. Vapors heavier than air. Used as a solvent for rosin, waxes, rubber; as a dispersing agent for oils, resins, paints, lacquers, varnishes, and in floor waxes and furniture polishes. |
Air & Water Reactions |
Flammable. Insoluble in water. |
Reactivity Profile |
Cinene may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. |
Health Hazard |
Liquid irritates eyes; prolonged contact with skin causes irritation. Ingestion causes irritation of gastrointestinal tract. |
Fire Hazard |
Behavior in Fire: Containers may explode. |
Chemical Reactivity |
Reactivity with Water No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No reaction; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent. |
Contact allergens |
Dipentene corresponds to a racemic mixture of d-limonene and l-limonene. Dipentene can be prepared from wood turpentine or by synthesis. It is used as a solvent for waxes, rosin and gums, in printing inks, perfumes, rubber compounds, paints, enamels, and lacquers. An irritant and sensitizer, dipentene caused contact dermatitis mainly in painters, polishers, and varnishers |
Contact allergens |
Limonene is a racemic form of dand l-limonene. d-Limonene is contained in Citrus species such as citrus, orange, mandarin, and bergamot. l-Limonene is contained in Pinus pinea. The racemic form (dand l-limonene) is also named dipentene. |
