Participants

Reaction Steps

6.48 g of 14-methyl-bicyclo[10.3.0]pentadeca-1,12-diene--crude material; see Example 3--in 40 ml of toluene were hydrogenated in the presence of 0.65 g of 10% palladium on charcoal as indicated in Example 5. After the above treatments of filtration and distillation, there were obtained 5.69 g (86% yield) of the desired title compound having a purity of 95% according to the vapour phase chromatography analysis (CARBOWAX 10%--1.6 m--140°). The compound thus prepared was found identical with a sample prepared according to Chem. Abstr. 70, 88108 v (1970).
