- Conclusions:
- Boiling point of l-limonene is between 175.5 and 176 °C.
- Executive summary:
Boiling point of l-limonene was reported to be between 175.5 and 176 °C. It is an experimental value but the reliability is not assignable because the data come from secondary literature.

- Boiling pt.:
- >= 175.5 - <= 176.5 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 763 mm Hg
- Conclusions:
- The boiling point of l-limonene is 175.5-176.5 °C at 763 mm Hg.
- Executive summary:
The boiling point of l-limonene is 175.5-176.5 °C at 763 mm Hg.
The reliability of this result has been considered as 2 (reliable with restrictions) because ‘The Merck Index’ is cited as a reference book containing peer reviewed data in the REACH Guidance Document R.7a.

Description of key information
Weight of evidence: Boiling point at ca. 101 kPa : 176 - 178 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment

- 176 °C
Additional information
In a weight of evidence approach a melting point of l-limonene is calculated consistent with all values reported for the two enantiomers (d- and l-limonene) being in the same order of magnitude.
