Abstract
Perillic alcohol is prepared by allowing beta-pinene epoxide to react with an aqueous suspension of mercuric salt, after this, the organic fraction is removed from the reaction medium, and treated with an inorganic acid. If the inorganic fraction is left untreated, 7, 8-dihydroxy-1-paramenthene is obtained. Perillic alcohol and derivatives thereof are used in the fields of perfumery, cosmetics and soaps.
