Reaction Steps

A solution of 30.0 g succinic anhydride, 46.9 g citronellol, 36.0 g pyridine and 2.2 g 4-dimethylaminopyridine in 300 ml of dichloromethane was refluxed for 22 hours. Then the solution was cooled, ether was added and the organic phase was washed with 2N HCl and water to neutrality, dried and evaporated to dryness. The residue was wipe-film distilled to yield 36.4 g of a colorless liquid.
