Procedure

A mixture of 1,5-dimethylcyclooct-1-en-5-ol (prepared as in Example II (b) 100, cyclohexane and n-hexadecane in the volume ratio 1:2:1 was passed at a rate of 12 ml/hour together with nitrogen gas at one 1/hour through a 30 cm quartz glass tube filled with 3 mm sodium glass beads at 540° C. It was shown by GLC that under these conditions the conversion of starting material was 39% and the selectivity to the required product was 87%. The alpha-linalool was recovered by distillation b.p. 91°-92° C. at 20 mm Hg.
