Chemistry of santonene. Part IV. N.m.r. Studies of the autoxidation products of santonene
Abstract
Solvent-induced shifts in the n.m.r. signals of the methyl groups in the 4β- and 4α-hydroxysantonenes (IIa) and (IIIa) and their derivatives have been used to confirm the configuration and conformation of the 4-hydroxy-groups in these compounds. The n.m.r. spectra of 6-substituted santonenes are also recorded.
