Hydroformylation in the presence of tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium carbonyl hydride RhHCO(PPh 3 ) 3 was performed on selected terpenes: terpinolene, S (—)limonene, α‐ and β‐cedrenes, α‐ and β‐caryophyllenes and caryophyllene oxide. Except for terpinolene, in which only the trisubstituted endocyclic bond was hydroformylated. the double bonds affected were always exocyclic. These new fragrant compounds may be of use in perfumery.
