Popis: The synthesis of 2-mercapto-p-menth-8-ene (3) and 1-mercapto-p-menth-8-ene (4) are described, starting, respectively, from thioepoxydation of (+)-trans-limonene 1,2-epoxide (1a) and (+)-cis-limonene 1,2-epoxide (1b) via hydride reduction of episulphides 2a and 2b. Structural determination of these sulphur-containing terpenoids was achieved by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The odours of these two new monoterpene thiols were described, respectively, as reminescent of grapefruit juice and as being typically alliaceous. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
