Process for the purification of ketones obtained from the corresponding terpenes by ozonolysis and reduction

摘要

Improved, safe process for the purification of ketones obtained by ozonolysis and subsequent reduction of the corresponding terpenes, in which, after the ozonolysis and reduction of acyclic mono-, bi- or tricyclic terpenes with ozonizable double bonds, converting the resulting corresponding crude ketone into a high-purity ketone by means of steam distillation at atmospheric pressure or at reduced pressure, extraction of the steam distillate and subsequent distillation.
