A novel dihydroxy nor-guaiane sesquiterpene: synthesis and crystal structure analysis

The epoxidation (H2O2, NaOH) of an acetonyl-cycloheptenone derived from (R)-(-)-carvone gives a dihydroxy-nor-guaiane sesquiterpene by way of an interesting sequence of reactions promoted by the basic reaction conditions. Although the major product could be identified spectroscopically with respect...
