J. Jayasree et Cs. Narayanan, CATALYTIC TRANSFORMATIONS OF 3-CARENE OXIDE OVER ALUMINA-RARE EARTH OXIDE CATALYSTS, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 34(7), 1995, pp. 577-580
Isomerization of 3-carene oxide over binary oxide catalysts like Al2O3
-Y2O3, Al2O3-Sm2O3, Al2O3-Eu2O3, Al2O3-Pr6O11 and Al2O3-Nd2O3 at 80 de
grees C and 110 degrees C has been studied. ,6-Trimethyl-bicyclo[3.1.0
]hexane-3-carboxaldehyde and caranone are the major products formed at
80 degrees C. Rise in reaction temperature results in an increase in
epoxide transformation and an irregular variation in the yield of prod
ucts.
