<p>A process for producing hinokitiol which comprises obtaining 1-isopropylcyclopentadiene from cyclopentadiene and an isopropylating agent represented by the general formula R-X (wherein R represents isopropyl; and X represents halogeno, etc.) (the step 1); reacting the obtained product with a dihaloketene to give a ketene-adduct (the step 2); and then decomposing this ketene-adduct (the step 3); wherein the above step 1 involves the following three steps: (a) the step of preparing a cyclopentadienyl metal; (b) the step of isopropylating the cyclopentadienyl metal in an aprotic polar solvent to give isopropylcyclopentadiene; and (c) the step of isomerizing 5-isopropylcyclopentadiene contained in the product selectively into 1-isopropylcyclopentadiene under heating.</p> |
