PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 1-METHYL-1-ALKOXYCYCLOPENTANES

摘要

Process for the preparation of cyclopentane derivatives of the formula I in which R is a C1- to C10-alkyl group, which comprises reacting cyclohexanol or cyclohexene or mixtures of both compounds to give 1-methyl-1-cyclopentene (1st stage) and subsequently adding a C1- to C10-alkanol onto the double bond of the 1-methyl-1-cyclopentene (2nd stage).
