Abstract
The cyclization of citronellal to a mixture of menthone and isomenthone (2:1) is catalyzed by Al/Fe-Pillared Clay (Al/Fe-PILC) at 80°C in 1,2-dichloroethane in good yield. At room temperature the products are isopulegol and neo-isopulegol, the isomer ratio depending on the reaction conditions.
