A range of acidic Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) were synthesised using the imprint molecule trans-carvyl amine as a transition state analogue for the selective isomerisation of α-pinene oxide to trans-carveol. The amine functionality of the imprint molecule was used to selectively position a sulfonic acid group in the MIP binding pocket utilising 4-styrene sulfonic acid as the functional monomer. Co-polymerisation with varying ratios of styrene and divinylbenzene afforded a range of MIPs which were tested for their ability to effect selective formation of trans-carveol from α-pinene oxide. Although successful imprinting was demonstrated in binding studies, it was shown that solvent effects were dominant in effecting selective formation of trans-carveol. Using DMF as solvent, up to 70% of the products from acid catalysed isomerisation of α-pinene oxide with the polystyrene MIPs were obtained via the necessary para menthyl tertiary carbocation, and industrially important trans-carveol was obtained in 45% yield.

The method of synthesis of optically pure (-)-1,2-pinol by oxymercuration of (+)-cis-carveol and reduction of a cyclic mercuric compound formed has been discused.A possible mechanism of formation of the side products, tricyclic stereoisomeric compounds, 3,cis-9-dimethyl- and 3,trans-9-dimethyl-2-oxatricyclo3,7>nonane, has been proposed.
