Disclosed is a method of synthesizing a compound, such as 6-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one or methoxyheptyl bicyclooctanone, from 3-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)cyclopentene or other starting material. Such a method comprises reacting 3-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)cyclopentene with dichloroketene to form a first mixture comprising 7,7-dichloro-4-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-one and 6,6-dichloro-4-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo[3.2.0]-heptan-7-one. The first mixture is reacted with acetic acid and zinc to form a second mixture comprising 4-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-6-one and 4-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo-[3.2.0]heptan-7-one. The second mixture is reacted with trimethylsulfonium iodide to form a third mixture comprising 2-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)spiro[bicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-6,2′-oxirane]. The third mixture is reacted with lithium iodide to form 6-(5-ethoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one.
