Abstract

(1953).(6) L. Ruzicka and E. Capato. Helu. Chim. Acta, 8, 259 (1925). and y-curcurmene (VI)(reaction 1) were definitely identified, in addition to triterpene derivatives? Recently the base-catalyzed dehydration of farnesol has also been reported, leading principally to the production of trans-0-farnesene (111), in addition to minor amounts of a product with one less carbon atom formulated as IX. 8
