Epoxidation of 4α-acetoxycar-2-ene (III) with perbenzoic acid gives in addition to the epoxide IV, the rearranged hydroxy acetate (V).Under acidic conditions in different solvents, the epoxide IV rearranges to p-menthane derivatives V, VII and VIII.Rearrangement of IV under basic conditions gives rise to the p-menthane derivative IX which on oxidation with Jones chromic acid reagent gives as one of the products, a conjugated keto-γ-lactone, identified as X by spectral data.
