Application

(−)-Isopulegol can be used as a starting material for the enantioselective preparation of: 8-arylmenthols by Smiles-Truce rearrangement of aryl sulfonates.,· Stereoisomers of 5,9-dimethylpentadecane. Octahydro-2H-chromen-4-ol by Prins cyclization with vanillin in the presence of montmorillonite clay as the catalyst. p-menthane-3,8,9-triol by catalytic Sharpless dihydroxylation.

General description
