(1R,cis)-caronaldehydic acid is prepared from (+)- DELTA 3-carene by a multistep process in which the (+)- DELTA 3-carene derivative, (1R,cis)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, is cyclodehydrated, the resulting novel intermediate enol lactone is treated with ozone, the resulting ozonide is subjected to reductive cleavage to afford the mixed anhydride of the open form of (1R,cis)caronaldehydic acid and this mixed anhydride is hydrolyzed to the desired product. The intermediate enol lactone is a new compound.
