Dimethyl-(4-methyl-1-cyclohexenyl)methyl and 2-(1-Methylethylidene)-5-methylcyclohexyl Ethers from Pulegone1
摘要:
NaBH4 reduction of pulegone (1) in short chain alcohols followed by acidification of the reaction mixture gives dimethyl-(4-methyl-1-cyclohexenyl) ethers. Acid catalyzed transetherification of these ethers in longer chain alcohols yields mixtures of the title compounds.
