Reaction Steps

60 kg of leaves of Solidago viragaurea L. subsp. asiatica Kitamura was steam-distilled and 102 g of essential oil was obtained. 100 g of the essential oil containing 30 g of germacrene D was dissolved in 20 l of n-hexane with addition of 50 g of acetophenone and was subjected to internal irradiation with the light of high pressure mercury lamp for 10 hours. 25 g of β-bourbonene was obtained by fractional distillation under reduced pressure.
