Isotope Effects in Proton-transfer Reactions. VIII. Isotope Effects in the Proton-transfer from (--)-Menthone to Methoxide Ion in Methanol and Methanol--Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solutions.

Monoterpenoids

“…84 The primary and solvent kinetic isotope effects for transfer of a proton from (-)menthone to methoxide ion in methanol and in methanol-DMSO have been measured. 185 The enones (227) and ( 228) have been synthesized, and their conformations and configurations have been studied by n.m.r. spectroscopy.…”
