The Dielectric Properties of 1,3-Butanediol

The dielectric properties of 1,3-butanediol were measured over the temperature range 293–423 K. The static permittivity ε_s was measured at a frequency of 1 MHz. The permittivity ε′ and dielectric loss ε′’ were determined by the balance method over the frequency range 2–37.5 GHz.

Oxidation of bicyclic monoterpene ketones with Caro’s acid

Previously unknown seven-membered lactones, (1R,1??R,5S,5??S)-5,5??-oxybis(1,8,8-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one), 2,2-dimethyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[2.6]nonan-7-one, 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-7-methyloxepan-2-one, and (4R,4??R,7S,7??S)-4,4??-[oxybis(propane-2,2-diyl)]bis(7-methyloxepan-2-one), were synthesized by the Baeyer-Villiger reaction using Caro??s acid as a result of oxidative and skeletal transformations of bicyclic monoterpene ketones, (+)-camphor, (+)-nopinone, and (?)-isocaranone.
