The reductive amination of l-menthol with aliphatic nitriles has been studied.A probable scheme of the mechanism of the reaction has been put forward and the stereochemical composition of its products has been determined.It has been established with the aid of the 13 C NMR method that the reaction forms a mixture of isomeric optically-active N-alkylmenthyl-, -neomenthyl-, -isomenthyl-, and -neoisomenthylamines in a ratio of 54:24:17:5.The absolute configurations of the amines obtained have been determined.
