Abstract
Structure Elucidation of C10H14‐Dehydroterpenes by Reaction Gas‐Chromatography. – Identification of New Terpene Constituents in Essential OilsAlumina‐catalyzed dehydration of C10H16O‐monoterpene alcohols and elimination of acetic acid from C10H15OCOCH3‐monoterpene acetates were carried out in the injection port of a gas chromatograph. The C10H14‐monoterpene hydrocarbons formed were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. By means of this reaction gas chromatographic technique, verbenene (7) and 1,5,8‐p‐menthatriene (13) were identified unequivocally, for the first time, as constituents of essential oils.
