THE SYNTHESIS OF 1β(H), 6β(Me)-2,2,6-TRIMETHYL-8-ETHYLBICYCLO--7-THIANONANE AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE ISOMERIC BICYCLIC-TERPENOID SULFIDES OCCURRING IN PETROLEUM.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)98983-4

The synthesis of the title compound is described.Comparison of ms and nmr data with those of the isomeric bicyclic terpenoid sulfide of petroleum shows that the latter has the structure of 1α(H), 6β(H)-2,2-dimethyl-9-ethylbicyclo-<4,4,0>-8-thiadecane.
