Abstract
Natural monoterpenoids have been documented for their acute toxicity and repellent, antifeedent, reproduction inhibitory, and insecticidal actions. The present work aims to derive a variety of ether and ester compounds using polymer‐supported reactions from the polymer‐supported carvacrol anion was reacted with alkyl halides and acid chlorides to afford carvacryl ethers and esters, respectively. Furthermore, a special study on the effect of different solvents and supports revealed that Amberlite IRA 400 (chloride form) was found to be the best polymer support and acetone among the solvents.
