Abstract.The Prins reaction on myrcene gives very complex mixtures. Neater reactions are met with partially reduced myrcenes and chelotropic adducts of myrcene with So2 and hexafluoroacetone. scale. The reactivity is the highest on the trisubstituted olefinic bond. The nature of the reaction products were assessed by 'H-NMR spectroscopy.Some of these may be done on preparative To whom correspondence should be addressed.
