Reaction Steps

By procedures similar to those described in Embodiments 57 and 58, 2,2,6-trimethyl-1-oxaspiro(2.5)oct-5-ene was treated with ethanol in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid to obtain 1-(1-ethoxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-4-methyl-3-cyclohexen-ol. This alcohol was treated with vanadium(IV) bis(2,4-pentanedionate) oxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide followed by p-toluenesulfonic acid to obtain (±)-2-exo-hydroxy-4(1-ethoxy-1-methylethyl)-1methyl-7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1]heptane. This intermediate was treated with benzyl chloride to yield the desired product, b.p. 120°-125° C. (0.2 mm).
