The configurations of some of the (±)-p-menthane-2 : 3-diols have been clarified. Hydroxylation of (±)-trans-p-menth-2-ene with a variety of reagents is described and the configurations of the derived glycols have been established. A preliminary examination of the rates of oxidation of a number of glycols by periodate is reported.
