Reaction Steps

31.7 g of rac!-2,2-dimethyl-4-(2,3,3-trimethylcyclopent-1-en-1-yl)tetrahydrofuran (from Example 4), at a purity of 92.7% (0.14 mole) were hydrogenated on a Parr shaker using 2.0 g of 5% Pd on carbon in 50 ml of ethanol. The product, 31.6 g, was distilled to afford 30 g (100% yield).
