Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1 g (5.6 mmol) of 4,8-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]nona-7-en-2-yl methyl ether [IB] in 10 ml of ethanol was added 0.1 g of 5% of Pd/C and the resulting mixture was heated with stirring at a hydrogen pressure of 20 atm and a reaction temperature of 70° C. for 6 hours. After cooling, the Pd/C was filtered off and the ethanol was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography and eluate with toluene gave 0.95 g of the title compound, which had a camphor-like smell.
