Synthesis of 9,9,9-trifluoro-2-p-menthene-1,8-diol. Determination of the structure by X-ray analysis.

Abstract
The ene reaction product of trifluoroacetone with cyclohexene was oxidized to 4-(1, 1, 1-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-propyl)-2-cyclohexenone, which was converted to the title compound. X-ray analysis of this compound determined the regio- and stereo-chemistries in the ene reaction, oxidation and methylation.
