Stereochemistry of Cyclohexane Derivatives. VIII. Structures of Some p-Menth-1-ene-3,6-diols

Abstract

A new p-menth-1-ene-3,6-diol, m.p. 112 �C, has been obtained from Eucalyptus dives residues and by oxidation of (-)-α-phellandrene with peracetic acid. The structures of the isomers, m.p. 165 and 54 �C, have been established.
