Investigation of the title reaction under different conditions of temperature, solvents and catalysis has led to its optimisation with respect to the yield of (-)-trans-carvyl chloride (2).Other products formed in the reaction have been identified as 1,2-dichloro-p-menth-8-ene (5), 10-chloro-p-mentha-1,8-diene (6), 2-chloro-p-mentha-1(7)8-diene (10) and 6,10-dichloro-p-mentha-1,8-diene (11).The reaction proceeds almost entirely by electrophilic halogenation with no evidence of competition from a radical mechanism.
