The reaction of neryl (3), geranyl (4), (+)-carvotanacetyl (5), (-)-carvyl (6) and perillyl (7) chlorides with phenylseleno- (1) or phenyltellurosodium (2), and then with chloramine- T afforded _,_-unsaturated toluenesulfonamides 8-11, which were reduced with sodium in liquid ammonia to allylic amines 12-15. Allylic phenyltellurides were oxidized by air to carbonyl compounds 29-31 or alcohol 28.
Allylic chlorination of (+)-3carene (1) gave (-)-trans-4-chloro-3(10)-carene (2), (+)-10-chloro-carene (4) and 3,4-dichlorocarene (5). Chlorination was done by two methods: with t-butyl hypochlorite or N-chlorsuccinimide in the presence of catalytic amount of alpha, alpha'-azobisisobutylonitrile or benzoyl peroxide, UV irradiation and silica gel. Chlorination of (+)-2-carene (7) using these methods gave p-cymene (8), 1-isopropylene-4-methylbenzene (9) and dipentene (10).
