Abstract

The addition of formaldehyde to olefins is known as the Prins reaction. 13 In a previous paper, 2-1 the preparation of a limonenylcarbinol, 1, 8 (9)-^-menthadien-10-yl-carbinol, and its various derivatives was reported. The present paper describes the thermal condensation of paraformaldehyde with aliphatic olefins in the presence of acetic anhydride. Various workers have shown that the principal products of thermal olefin-formaldehyde ...
