Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 1 liter reaction vessel equipped with stirrer, thermometer and addition funnel are placed 339 grams (2.04 moles) of bicyclononenyl formate produced according to Example I containing compounds having the structures: ##STR175## 531 grams (4.5 moles) diethyl carbonate; and 31 grams (0.14 moles) of an aqueous 25% solution of sodium methoxide. The resulting mixture is stirred for a period of 1.25 hours. At the end of the 1.25 hour period, 30 grams (0.5 moles) of acetic acid and 2 liters of water is added to the reaction mass with stirring. The reaction mass is then washed with one 2 liter portion of saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The organic phase is then distilled on a 2" splash column yielding the following fractions:
