Abstract

Abstract Boron trifluoride etherate on alumina catalyses the condensation of resorcinols an monomethyl resorcinols with several monoterpenoid allylic alcohols: in contrast to parallel reactions with boron trifluoride etherate in solution the products obtained do not undergo further cyclisations.
