Abstract
The invention is directed to methods of producing alkoxylated or hydroxylated terpenes comprising the steps of continuously passing a solution comprising an alcohol in combination with a terpene over an acidic resin catalyst in a packed bed reactor in order to yield a product, as well as compounds that are the products of the methods described herein.
Claims12
A method of producing an alkoxylated terpene comprising the step of:
- continuously passing a solution comprising methanol, in combination with the terpene over an acidic resin catalyst in a packed bed reactor in order to yield a product, wherein the acidic resin catalyst is selected from a propanesulfonic acid resin, or a montmorillonite, or a macroreticular or cellular resin covalently bonded to sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid groups, or a silica covalently bonded to sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid groups, and wherein said terpene is valencene.
A compound of Formula (II) described by the following structure:
