Abstract
The oxidation of α-pinene with hydrogen peroxide, at 40°C and atmospheric pressure, using ethylene glycol dimethyl ether as solvent was carried out in the presence of VO(OAc)2. The influence of solvent, reaction temperature and catalyst dosage on catalytic activity and product selectivity was studied. The major reaction products were verbenon (45.9% selectivity at 82.9% conversion). Formation of campholenic aldehyde, myrtenal, verbenol and epoxypinane was also observed.
