Procedure

Geraniol (100 g) was dissolved in ethanol (500 ml), added with platinum oxide (500 mg) and stirred for 24 hours at room temperature under hydrogen atmosphere. After the completion of the reaction, insoluble material was removed by filtration through a Celite layer and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 3,7-dimethyloctanol (100 g).
