A simple synthesis of the natural product cacalol has been developed that proceeds in seven steps and 21-25% overall yield. Ortho-lithiation of 4-methylanisole and alkylation with 5-iodo-1-pentene, followed by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation, gave 5-methoxy-1,8-dimethyltetralin. This compound was then formylated in

The site of incorporation of solubilizates in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar systems has been investigated by proton NMR spectroscopy. The solubilizate molecules chosen for the present study are phenol, 4-methylphenol, 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol, anisole, 4-methylanisole, 4-propenylanisole, 1,8-cineole, and limonene. These molecules
