Reaction Steps
A solution of 186 g, 7, 8-epoxy-2-methoxy-2, 6-dimethyloctane and 5 g sodium carbonate in 100 ccs isopropanol was hydrogenated in the presence of 2 g Raney nickel at 120°C and 150 psi hydrogen pressure over 16 hours. The product was filtered and fractionally distilled to give 75 g methoxy-citronellol and 105 g methoxyelgenol. (R=Methyl). Methoxyelgenol has a marked long lasting sandalwood odour with rose undertones.
