Abstract
A convenient two‐step protocol preparation of cineol (1‐isopropyl‐4‐methyl‐7‐oxabicyclo[2,2,1]heptane) from α‐terpineol (p‐menth‐1‐en‐8‐ol) is reported. The phenylselenoetherification of α‐terpineol with PhSeX (X = Cl, Br, I) as a key step is described. α‐Terpineol reacts with PhSeX to form the corresponding phenylselenoether in short reaction time and in quantitative yield. A subsequent reduction with Bu~3~SnH to cineol proceeds in high yield (98%) © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
