    Abstract: Trimethyl-p-benzoquinone of the formula I (I) is prepared by a process wherein A. 2,5,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one or 2,3,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one is reacted with air or oxygen at from 0 DEG to 150 DEG C. in a virtually anhydrous low molecular weight alkanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(I) oxide or copper(II) oxide and in the presence of from 1 to 10 moles of a hydrogen halide gas per mole of trimethylcyclohexenone, and thereafter B. the reaction mixture, which essentially contains 2,3,6-trimethylphenol and/or 4-halo-2,3,6-trimethylphenol, is mixed with an alkali metal alcoholate in an amount such that a sample, when moistened with water, has a pH of from 3 to 6, and is then reacted with air, pure oxygen or tert.-butyl hydroperoxide at from 0 DEG to 150 DEG C., or wherein from 1 to 10 mole equivalents of a hydrogen halide gas per mole of substrate to be reacted are passed into a mixture containing a virtually anhydrous low molecular weight alkanol and a catalytic amount of copper(I) oxide or copper(II) oxide at from 0 DEG to 30 DEG C., an alkali metal alcoholate is added in an amount such that a sample, when moistened with water, has a pH of from 3 to 6, about one mole equivalent of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol is added and the mixture is then reacted with air, oxygen or tert.-butyl peroxide at from 0 DEG to 150 DEG C. Trimethyl-p-benzoquinone is an important intermediate for the synthesis of vitamin E.

    Abstract: A mixture of Z- and E-2-[2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl]-4-methyltetrahydropyran isomers, of the formulae Z-I and E-I containing not less than 85% of Z-I and not more than 15% of E-I, is prepared by a process wherein 2-[2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl]-4-methylenetetrahydropyran of the formula II II is hydrogenated over a platinum dioxide or platinum/charcoal catalyst in the presence of a strongly acidic cation exchanger. The product is a useful fragrance material which also occurs naturally and is known as rose oxide.
