- Anodic behaviour of limonene in low aqueous acetonitrile solutions of Cl(1-)
-
The anodic behaviour of limonene on Pt electrodes was studied in LiCl solutions in acetonitrile with low water content.It was found that cis-6-acetamido-p-menth-1,8-diene is formed with acceptable yields.This compound is of interest as a potential intermediate for obtaining oxidation derivatives of limonene.Other products, among them the new compound 8-acetamido-2,4,8-trimethyl-4-chloromethyl-3-aza-bicyclonon-2-ene, were identified.Reaction routes are proposed.

- Reactions of d-Limonene with t-Butyl Hypochlorite
-
Investigation of the title reaction under different conditions of temperature, solvents and catalysis has led to its optimisation with respect to the yield of (-)-trans-carvyl chloride (2).Other products formed in the reaction have been identified as 1,2-dichloro-p-menth-8-ene (5), 10-chloro-p-mentha-1,8-diene (6), 2-chloro-p-mentha-1(7)8-diene (10) and 6,10-dichloro-p-mentha-1,8-diene (11).The reaction proceeds almost entirely by electrophilic halogenation with no evidence of competition from a radical mechanism.
