Abstract
Rose oxide, which is an important olfactive compound valuable in the art of perfumery, is advantageously produced from citronellol through a novel synthetic route comprising PA0 (1) anodic alkoxylation of citronellol using as a supporting electrolyte an alkali metal aromatic sulfonate, PA0 (2) dealkoxylation of the resulting 2,6-dimethyl-3-alkoxyoct-1-en-8-ol in the presence of a palladium or nickel complex, and then PA0 (3) cyclization of the resulting dehydrocitronellol in the presence of an acid.
