Abstract

In this study, the continuous photooxygenation reactions of (+) and (-)-alpha-pinenes are described. The corresponding hydroperoxides were continuously processed under mild conditions using Ac2O and a base to yield (-) or (+) pinocarvones in up to 79-83% yield and a 12-13 g-scale. Alternatively, the hydroperoxides were reduced with Ph3P giving pinocarveols in up to 61% yield and a 10.8 g-scale. Our protocols proved to be efficient, easily scaled up and safe while processing unstable hydroperoxides in the g-scale (24 h experiments). Additionally, we describe a variable we named efficiency (E) which was useful to rationalize the best reaction conditions for the best yield, also including the productivity and non-processed starting materials.
