General description
Intact and direct dealkylating nitration of o-cymene with nitronium tetronium tetrafluoroborate has been reported. The kinetics of isomerization of cymene has been studied.
Application
- Mechanism of β–cyclodextrin-thyme nanocomplex formation and release: Explores the encapsulation and release mechanisms of o-Cymene in nanocomplexes, suggesting its potential applications in food industry innovations (Dorofte et al., 2024).
- Processing of sapodilla (Manilkara zapota L.) fruit: Reports the use of o-Cymene in improving the shelf life of sapodilla fruit, illustrating its role in food preservation and post-harvest loss control (Kumar et al., 2024).
- Comparative Study on Insecticidal Activities of Essential Oils: Highlights the effectiveness of o-Cymene in essential oil formulations used as insecticides, providing insights into its use in sustainable pest management (Awojide et al., 2023).
- Chemical composition of essential oil from Lindera caesia: Examines the antifungal and antibiofilm properties of o-Cymene in essential oils, suggesting potential applications in healthcare, especially in dental caries prevention (Zaini et al., 2023).
