It is shown that (R)-4-menthenone, which is convenient for the synthesis of a whole spectrum of pheromones, has an unusual reactivity in comparison with other enon systems. The unusual behavior of (R)-4-menthenone may be due to the limited rotation of the isopropyl group and its steric effect on the availability of the C = C bond electrons. Using the quantum-chemical non-empirical approximations of different levels of complexity, the relative stability of the (R)-4-tenenton conformations is estimated.
