Abstract

As part of our project involving the development of synthetic protocols utilizing aqueous reaction conditions, some naturally occurring terpenes have been synthesized in our laboratory. Limonene, a-terpineol, and terpinolene were indirectly prepared via aqueous Diels-Alder reaction. The Diels-Alder reactions were carried out in water alone as medium without Lewis acid catalysis to afford the intermediates that are subsequently transformed to the target compounds by conventional means.
