Abstract Alkylation of the sodium salt of mesitol with 2-bromomethyl-buta-1, 3-diene (7) in benzene and subsequent refluxing of the reaction mixture gave 7% 2-methylene-3-butenyl- mesitylether (8), 12% 5-methylene-1, 3, 8-trimethyl-tricyclo [4, 3, 1, 0 3, 7]-8-decen-2-one (9) and 44% 9-methylene-1, 3, 5-trimethyl-tricyclo [4, 4, 0, 0 3, 8]-4-decen-2-one (10), a twistane derivative. The same procedure, when applied to the sodium salt of 2, 6-dimethyl-4- ...
