We report the use of five alpha-hydroxy acids (citric, tartaric, mandelic, lactic and glycolic acids) as catalysts in the synthesis of terpineol from alpha-pinene. The study found that the hydration rate of pinene was slow when only catalyzed by alpha-hydroxyl acids. Ternary composite catalysts, composed of AHAs, phosphoric acid, and acetic acid, had a good catalytic performance. The reaction step was hydrolysis of the intermediate terpinyl acetate, which yielded terpineol. The optimal reaction conditions were as follows: alpha-pinene, acetic acid, water, citric acid, and phosphoric acid, at a mass ratio of 1:2.5:1:(0.1–0.05):0.05, a reaction temperature of 70? C, and a reaction time of 12–15 h. The conversion of alpha-pinene was 96%, the content of alpha-terpineol was 46.9%, and the selectivity of alpha-terpineol was 48.1%. In addition, the catalytic performance of monolayer graphene oxide and its composite catalyst with citric acid was studied, with acetic acid used as an additive.

It is shown how secondary alcohols are oxidized to provide the corresponding ketones by use of Oxone and solid-supported hypervalent iodine catalysts. Under experimentally simple conditions with acetonitrile at elevated temperatures, excellent conversions were achieved with low catalyst loadings (0.2-5 mol%) when employing the conjugates 5 and 6 derived from IBX and IBS. The catalysts are broadly applicable to a range of alcohol substrates. Of primary importance with respect to sustainability issues, the metal-free catalysts are easily removed from the reaction mixture through filtration, and they can be re-used in oxidation processes for multiple times, without loss of catalytic activity.

Secondary phosphine oxides O=PHR2 (SPOs) were identified as multitalented preligands for the chemoselective Pd-catalyzed oxidation of alcohols by a hydrogen-abstracting methodology. SPOs were found to promote the hydrogen-abstraction step as well as hydrogen transfer to a Michael acceptor by generating a putative active H?Pd species. The catalytic system operates under neutral conditions and was proven to be compatible with various electrophilic and nucleophilic functionalities within the substrates as well as water- and air-sensitive functional groups.

A re-examination of the products of oxidation of (-)-fenchone (1) with chromyl acetate in acetic acid has confirmed that (-)-fenchane-2,5-dione (2) and (+)-fenchane-2,6-dione (3) are the main products.Two other compounds have been isolated, namely (+)-(1R)-6-exo-acetoxy-3,3,6-trimethyltrinorbornan-2-one (4) and (+)-(1R,2S,6R)-2,8,8-trimethyl-3,5-dioxatricyclo2,6>decane-4,9-dione (5).Similar oxidation of (+)-2-endo-fenchyl acetate (6) yields (-)-(1S)-2-endo-acetoxy-1,3,3-trimethyltrinorbornan-5-one (7), (+)-(1R)-2-endo-acetoxy-1,3,3-trimethyltrinorbornan-6-one (8), (+)-(1S)-2-endo-5-exo-diacetoxy-1,3,3-trimethyltrinorbornane (9), (+)-(1R,5S)-7-endo-acetoxy-1,6,6-trimethyl-3-oxabicyclooctane-2,4-dione (10), and (-)-(1S,3S,7S,8R)-8,10,10-trimethyl-4,6-dioxatricyclo3,8>decane-2,5-dione (11).Derivatives of these compounds are described.Bromination of (+)-fenchone (12) in presence of copper gave (+)-(1R)-1-bromomethyl-3,3-dimethyltrinorbornan-2-one (13) as the major product, but a significant amount of (-)-(1R)-7-anti-bromo-1,3,3-trimethyltrinorbornan-2-one (14) was also formed.Minor amounts of (+)-(1R)-3-endo-bromo-1,7,7-trimethyltrinorbornan-2-one (15), and probably (g.l.c.) either 5-exo- or 6-exo-bromofenchone, were formed.Methanolysis of the anhydride (10) affords the half-ester (16) from which the β-lactone (17) is obtained.
