Catharanthus roseus cultured cells produce several new oxidized products from (5R)-(+)-pulegone and (2S, 5R)-(—)-menthone, in some of which a double bond migration has occurred. Products were identified using NMR and mass spectrometry. The pleasant fragrances of some of the products suggest possible use as perfumery agents.
