Verfahren zur Herstellung von Rosenoxid über Halohydrine oder Epoxide

摘要

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing rose oxide from citronellol or from an oxygen-protected derivative thereof using a halohydrin intermediate step or an epoxide immediate step. The inventive method makes it possible to obtain high yields, an advantageous ratio of the intermediate allyl alcohols of up to 4:1, and a high (10:1) cis/trans ratio of the rose oxide. The process is cost-effective with regard to the chemicals used and saves energy and time.
