The Transformations of Terpene Eetones by Oxygen. II. The Base-catalyzed Autoxidation of Pulegone and Fukinone and Their Dihydro Compounds

Upon autoxidation in alkaline media, pulegone and fukinone (2) gave pairs of hydroxy ketones respectively as the major products; also, hydroxyeremophilone was isolated as its acetate from 2. On the other hand, their dihydro compounds afforded hydroxy ketones, diosphenols, and acids.
