Condensation of appropriately substituted aldehydes and Grignard reagents leads to cyclopropyl alcohols V - VIII chromatographically separated in all cases into individual diastereoisomers. Perchloric acid catalyzed cyclopropylcarbinyl rearrangement of V - VIII (as a mixture of diastereoisomers or individual isomers) gives unsaturated monoterpenols IX - XII with high regio- and stereospecifity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
