After the uptake of one equivalent of hydrogen, the solution was filtered over Celite, concentrated and distilled under a high vacuum. There were obtained 4 g of 3-isopropyl-1-methyl-2-(3-oxobutyl)-cyclopent-1-ene; boiling point 0.005 about 70° C; nD20 = 1.4709; IRfilm : νmax = 1/25, 1390/70 and 1170cm-1. The compound has a woody, floral note.
