Abstract

Absolute stereochemistry of mukulol, a diterpene alcohol, is established by chemical correlation with cembrene-A and (+)- cis-piperitol. Synthesis of (+)- cis-piperitol and (−)- trans-piperitol from (+)-Δ 2-carene is described. Δ 2-Carene oxide on exposure to silica gel passes into cis Δ 2-p-menthen-1,8-diol.
