The isomerization of α‐pinene oxide with Brønsted and Lewis acids

Abstract: a-Pinene oxide (2) is a very reactive substrate which isomerizes rapidly under the influence of acid catalysts. A large number of products can be formed from a single intermediate. Selectivity to the industrially important campholenic aldehyde can be achieved with metal-halogen compounds, especially zinc chloride and zinc bromide. A possible explanation for this behaviour is offered, stipulating a stabilized carbenium-ion intermediate. Protonic catalysts are typically highly active but unselective. No evidence… Show more

“…It is known that Lewis acid sites favour formation of campholenic while Brönsted acid sites address the reaction towards the preferred formation of trans-carveol [20]. The low selectivity to this latter compound agrees with the absence of Brönsted acidity on all catalysts as shown by FT-IR measurements.…”

“…Epoxides of monoterpenes can be isomerized to corresponding aldehydes and alcohols, which have applications as fine chemicals. Isomerization of ␣-pinene oxide has been intensively studied during the recent years [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
