Of the multitude of products obtained upon the aqueous chlorination of α-terpineol ( 1 ), under both acidic and basic conditions, the major ones are the diequatorial trans , 4 , and diaxial trans , 5 , Markovnikov adducts of hypochlorous acid to the olefinic center. With the exclusion of small amounts of dichloride formation, the remainder of the products appear to be derived from 4 and 5 by hydrolysis or elimination sequences. The product distribution exhibits an expected pH dependence that is useful in the structural assignments. |
