Acid-Catalyzed Isomerization of Carvone to Carvacrol
Kjonaas, Richard A.; Mattingly, Shawn P.
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n12 p1813 Dec 2005
The acid-catalyzed isomerization of carvone to carvacrol, first reported by Ritter and Ginsburg, is especially well suited with a permanent-magnet FT instrument. The acid-catalyzed isomerization of carvone to carvacrol produced a 61% yield after a three hour reflux with 30% aqueous sulfuric acid.
