REACTIVITY OF TERPENES AND THEIR ANALOGS IN AN [[ORGANIZED MEDIUM]]

Published studies on the reactivity of terpenes and their analogues in an <<organised medium>>, viz, upon adsorption on solid catalysts and upon complex formation with cyclodextrins (photochemical processes), a re analysed, It is shown that the use of an <<organised medium>> not o nly makes it possible to improve the environmental characteristics of the known processes involving natural terpene compounds. In addition, due to the specific features of the latter (conformational mobility, p olyfunctionality), it opens broad opportunities for discovering unusua l transformations, and this extends the prospects of using the <<renew able raw materials>> for fine organic synthesis.
