, p. 2177 - 2182 (1981)
Measurement of isotope ratios in 1α,2α3β-trihydroxy-p-methane, which has been biosynthesized in Fusicoccum amygdali from 3H- and 14C-labelled mevalonate and in its degradation product diosphenol indicates that: (a) four tritium atoms arising from 2H2, 2-14C>MVA are retained, one more than suggested from the hydroxylation pattern, (b) menth-2-ene-1-ol is generated from an α-terpinyl cation through a 1,3-hydride shift and (c) trans-cleavage of an α-epoxide by hydrolysis gives 1α,2α,3β-trihydroxy-p-methane. - Keywords: Fusicoccum amygdali; biosynthesis; monoterpenes; 1α,2α,3β-trihydroxy-p-methane; α-terpinyl cation; diosphenol.

Schneider, David F,Viljoen, Murray S
, p. 5307 - 5315 (2007/10/03)
Methods are discussed for the stereoselective synthesis of the (R)-and (S)-enantiomers of the diosphenols (5)-(8) by utilizing the commercially available stereoisomers (9), (12), (23) and (25) of carvone and limonene, respectively, as chiral starting materials.

, p. 880 - 881 (2007/10/02)
A simple and straightforward synthesis of the title compound (1) is described starting from menthone (2).The synthetic 2,3-dimethoxy-p-cymene (1) is not identical with the natural product reported by Zutshi and Bokadia .
