A new method of synthesizing 8,9-Epoxy cedrane : It was firstly synthesized at home and abroad form alapha-cedrene by epoxidation of hydrogen peroxide under the catalysis of ruthenium trichloride and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid. The optimal conditions dor synthesis of epoxycedrane were 1.90% of ruthenium trichloride,12.28% of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, 8 times(equiv) of hydrogen peroxide, 20h and 30°C . This method not only operates simply and reacts warmly, but also realize 100% conversion of lapha-cedrene and 84% selectivity of the target product.
