3,7,7-Trialkyl-5-heptenols and 3,7,7,-trialkyl-4-heptenols may be obtained by saponification of the corresponding esters. The saponification may be effected by a conventional method, e.g. by warming the ester in the presence of water with a small amount of an alkali metal hydroxide. In an example a mixture of 3,7-dimethyl-5-octen-1-ol and 3,7-dimethyl-4-octen-1-ol is obtained by saponifying a mixture of the corresponding esters. |
