Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The composition of the products of the oxymercuration-demercuration reaction of car-3-ene according to the degree of its transformation has been studied. It has been established that this reaction forms trans-caran-3-ol, α-terpineol, m-menth-6-en-8-ol, 3,4-epoxy-trans-carane, p- and m-1, 8-cineoles, p- and m-1,8-terpins, and terpene esters. It has been shown that the double bond of car-3-ene possesses a higher reactivity than the cyclopropane ring, and the opening of the latter takes place equally at both external bonds.
