Description and Uses
An industrially important reaction of optically active a-pinene oxide is rearrangement to campholene aldehyde (e.g., in the presence of zinc bromide). Subsequent aldol condensation with lower aliphatic aldehydes or ketones (e.g., propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, or acetone) provides unsaturated aldehydes or ketones that can be reduced to the corresponding saturated alcohols. These are used in the fragrance industry as a sandalwood scent.
