Menthol from Carene
« on: February 24, 2014, 11:17:43 AM »
The problem and my attempt are attached. I am not sure whether I got correct the pyrolysis compound. Even if I did I don't see a way to continue the scheme after compound D, so what should be done here?

Seems like the synthesis can be carried out when the pyrolysis product is the one I wrote, but how to determine pyrolysis products of similar reactions? What's the mechanism?
