p-Camphorene is synthesised by the application of Wittig reaction with methylenetriphenylphosphorane on 1(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-4-(5-methyl-4-hexe-1-one)cyclohex-1-ene (5), the cardinal intermediate, which was procured by the formation of β-ketosulphoxide and then its subsequent alkylation with 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene of the compound 1(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-4-carbmethoxycyclohex-1-ene (3).The alkylated material was submitted to reductive cleavage with aluminium amalgam in aqueous THF at 65 deg to furnish 5.
