Abstract
Whereas the synthesis of alpha-campholenic compounds starting from alpha-pi nene has been well investigated, only few is known about beta-campholenic c ompounds. We obtained compounds suitable as precursors for the functionaliz ation of the side chain of the beta-isomer of the sandalwood flavour Brahma nol(R). Now we report about the synthesis and the rearrangement of various beta-campholenic epoxides to allylic alcohols or a bicyclic gamma-lactone a nd the synthesis of cyclohexenones from beta-campholenic esters.
