In the present investigation, special emphasis has been given to developing newer strategies for the oxygenated, thio- and new glucoside derivatives of monoterpenes. The main objectives of the study were development of new, improved reagents, and methods for the functionalization of hydrocarbons, investigation of reaction mechanisms, especially of stereo- and regioselectivities, with an ultimate aim of developing efficient synthetic routes to aroma chemicals and their intermediates. The present study is also directed towards development of viable synthetic methods using inexpensive methods and simple reagents, with optimization of the conditions to obtain the desired product in high yield and purity. Newer glucoside derivatives of monoterpenes have been prepared.
