Procedimiento

4-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopentyl)butanoic acid was synthesized in three steps; the first step reacts 2-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-en-1-yl)acetaldehyde (aka campholenic aldehyde) to ethyl 4-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-enyl)but-2-enoate, in the second step the latter was subjected to a hydrogenation procedure to form ethyl 4-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopentyl)butanoic acid, and in the third step, from the latter, 4-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopentyl)butanoic acid was formed in presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and tetrahydrofuran (THF).
