Abstract

C(9b)-Epimeric (4aR,9aS)-4a,6,6,9a-tetramethyl-trans-perhydroindano[2,1-c]pyrans, which have the odor of ambergris, were synthesized by dehydration of the corresponding glycols. It was established that a mixture of epimeric [with respect to C(3a)] (8aS,8bR)-5,5,8a-trimethyl-3a-ethyl-trans-perhydroindano[2,1-b]furans is formed along with a trans-perhydroindano[2,1-c]pyran derivative in the acidic dehydration of (1R,2R,7aS)-2,4,4,7a-tetramethyl-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-hydroxymethy1-trans-hydrindan.
