irene

sostantivo

1. 1

   The hydrocarbon formed by dehydration of an irone.

   The configurations around the double bond in the side chain are based on considerations of the Raman spectra, dielectric constants, etc., and on comparatively small differences in reactivity; for example, neo-α-irone is converted into irene less readily than α-irone, but forms an oxime more rapidly; …

   Ruzicka and his co-workers showed that the hydrocarbon irene, obtained on reduction of irone with red phosphorus/iodine, had the structure shown and this was confirmed by synthesis [...]

   Practically no isomerization of ɑ- or γ-irone into β-irone, or of γ-irone into ɑ-irone takes place; nor is irene formed from the irones.
