Compounds of the menthane series. Synthesis of unsaturated primary alcohols with the o- and p-menthane skeletons

Precursors to terpene alcohols of the o- and p-menthane series (o-cimen-7-ol and o- and p-cimen-9-ols) were synthesized, and their reduction with lithium in ethylenediamine was studied. The reduction of o- and p-cimen-9-ols in the presence of isopropyl alcohol selectively afforded the corresponding 1,4-dihydro derivatives. Under analogous conditions, o-cimen-7-ol was converted into a mixture of unsaturated hydrocarbons. The reduction with lithium in ethylenediamine in the absence of isopropyl alcohol in all cases gave mixtures of menthene alcohols.

INVESTIGATION OF COMPOUNDS OF THE MENTHANE SERIES. XVI. REDUCTION OF o- AND p-ISOPROPENYLTOLUENES WITH CALCIUM HEXAAMMONIATE

In the reduction of o- and p-isopropenyltoluenes with calcium hexaammoniate in the presence of protic and aprotic solvents 1,2-addition of hydrogen mostly occurs with the formation of o- and p-cymenes and o- and p-menthatrienes, which under the reaction conditions give the products from 1,2- and 1,4-addition of hydrogen.
