  • Preparation of 1,3-dienamines from myrcene and substituted myrcene
    Patent number: 4533751
    Abstract: There is provided a process for the addition of a secondary aliphatic amine to myrcene or an 8-substituted myrcene and isomerization to a dialkyl 1,3-dienamine. The process is liquid phase and employs an excess of the amine relative to myrcene or substituted myrcene. The catalyst is an alkali metal amide anion formed from the amine.

  • Alkoxides of 2-pinanol
    Patent number: 4289917
    Abstract: Alkali metal oxides of cis- and trans-2,6,6-trimethylbicyclo(3.1.1)-heptan-2-ol are surprisingly effective bases in organic reactions calling for the use of a strong base, especially those reactions wherein abstraction of a proton from attachment to a carbon atom is postulated to occur in the mechanism.

  • Para-menth-1-ene-7-sulfonic acid and salts thereof
    Patent number: 4283347
    Abstract: Para-menth-1-ene-7-sulfonate salts are made by reacting .beta.-pinene with a bisulfite salt under free radical conditions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 1980
    Date of Patent: August 11, 1981
    Assignee: SCM Corporation

  • Synthesis of menthofuran
    Patent number: 4240969
    Abstract: A new process for synthesizing menthofuran is disclosed. Said process comprises epoxidizing isopulegol to form the new compound isopulegol epoxide. The epoxide is then oxidized to form isopulegone epoxide which can be cyclodehydrated to form menthofuran.

  • Preparation of para-menth-1-ene-7-sulfonate salts and corresponding acids
    Patent number: 4224240
    Abstract: Para-menth-1-ene-7-sulfonate salts are made by reacting .beta.-pinene with a bisulfite salt under free radical conditions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 1979
    Date of Patent: September 23, 1980
    Assignee: SCM Corporation
    Inventors: Bernard J. Kane, Sean G. Traynor
  • Polydentate metal salts used in the process for the deactivation of glass surfaces and capillary columns therewith
    Patent number: 4209554
    Abstract: Phosphonium salts are prepared by reacting polydentate phosphines containing two or more trivalent phosphorus atoms with alkyl or aralkyl halides. Treatment of glass surfaces and glass capillary columns with these salts substantially eliminates tailing of peaks and allow the high temperature separation and characterization of polar compounds by gas chromatography at temperatures of 300.degree. C.
