Reaction Steps

2-Cyclooctenylmethyl bromide (0.7 g; 0.0035 mole) as just made was added dropwise to a refluxing solution of imidazole (0.24 g; 0.0025 mole) and potassium tertiary butoxide (0.39 g; 0.0035 mole) in dry butanol under nitrogen. After addition the mixture was stirred under reflux for 1 hour. Pure product was obtained as described in Example 4, b.p. 108°-110°/0.02 mmHg.
