Preparation of α-Campholenic Aldehyde by Thermal Decomposition of Nojigiku Alcohol in the Presence of Synthetic Zeolites

Studies on the Decomposition of Terpenes in the Presence of Synthetic Zeolites.

Abstract

The thermal decomposition of nojigiku alcohol in the presence of synthetic zeolites give α-campholenic aldehyde. Both the 13X and TSZ-645-PSH1 zeolite are effective in this reaction.
