Abstract

The addition of formaldehyde to isopropylidene-type trisubstituted olefinic linkages (Prins reaction) present in a-and 8-santalenes and some simpler compounds has been studied, and the structures of the resulting primary alcohols have been elucidated. The tricgclene system undergoes rearrangement to the camphene system during the Prins reaction.
