Abstract

Base-Induced Reactions of p-Menthane- and Pinane-Derived Epoxyesters – Coconut Fragrance The base-induced isomerization of p-menthane- and pinane-derived epoxy esters was studied. The reaction is dependent on the structure of the terpene compound, the nature of the base, and experimental conditions. Among all the new synthesized compounds, one, 6a, emits a very strong fragrance of coconut. In the structure of this tricyclic lactone, the presence of a methyl substituent is essential.
