SYNTHESIS OF CARVONE (p-Mentha-6,8-dien-2-one)
- The pyridinium chlorochromate-on-alumina reagent (7.5 g,
6.1mmol) is added to a flask containing a solution of
carveol (0.60 g, 3.8 mmol) in hexane (10 ml).
- After stirring for 2 hours, the
solution is filtered, and washed with three 10-ml portions of ether. The
combined filtrates are evaporated and vacuum distilled to afford
carvone; yield 0.54 g (93%), b.p. 104°C/11 mmHg.
- Gas-liquid chromatography
analysis is on a column of 10 per cent Carbowax 20M supported on 60-80 mesh
Chromosorb W.
