Abstract
Reaction of manool and its derivatives with ozone gave stable ozonides. The structure (6) of one of the ozonides isolated is of striking similarity to the perfumery acetals (1) and (2) derived from the potassium permanganate oxidation of manool (3). Another compound 8β,13:8,14-diepoxy-15,17-dinorlabdan-14β-ol(7) was isolated as the major ozonolysis product and is a precursor of the lactone perfume (10).
