Procedure

76 g. of epoxymyrcene, prepared according to the method described in paragraph a) by epoxidation of myrcene, were added dropwise between -5° and 0°, with good stirring. Then the mixture was stirred with 200 ml. ice-water and neutralised with diluted HCl. Following the same isolation procedure described in paragraph b) 1. the sec.-myrcenol was obtained with a comparable yield.
