Abstract

A direct route to odoriferous methyl ethers from the monoterpene myrcene is presented. Investigating the activity of different catalytically active Lewis acids, the non-toxic and low-cost AlCl3 appeared to be very suitable. Thus, the common route to ethersvia the corresponding alcohols was reduced from four steps to one.
