Acid-catalyzed hydration and acetoxylation of terpenes are important synthetic routes to terpenols and terpene esters that are used in perfumery and flavoring compositions. Such perfume ingredients as dihydromyrcenol (DHM-OH) and dihydro-myrcenyl acetate (DHM-OAc) are prepared by the hydration and acetoxylation of dihydromyrcene (DHM) (Scheme 6). [Pg.325]
