which are derivedfrom terpenoid ketone (−)-menthone in two steps, are oligomerized in an easy acid-induced procedure to obtain oligoamides that contain alkyl groups and stereocenters; for this, a nucleophilic oligomerization via a non-ionic propagating site (neutral conditions) and a polycondensation are also possible. Furthermore, a regioselective synthesis is demonstrated where (−)-menthone is transformed
