Abstract

The photochemical transformations of methyl geranate are analyzed in terms of the dependence of quantum yield upon base, 1, 2-dimethylimidazole, concentration. The dependence of quantum yield of deconjugated esters methyl (3Z)-3, 7-dimethy1-3, 6- octadienoate (12), methyl 3-methy1ene-7-methyl-6-octenoate (13) and methyl (3E)-3, 7- dimethyl-3, 6-octadienoate (14) and the ratio of (13)/(12) and (13)/(14) upon base ...
