New derivatives of campholenaldehyde ( = 2-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-enyl)ethanal) bearing two cyclopropane moieties were synthesized, and the structure of the stereoisomer responsible for its exceptionally strong, diffusive, and natural sandalwood-oil scent, ((1S,2S)-1-methyl-2-{[(1S,3R,5R)-1,2,2-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3- yl]methyl}cyclopropyl)methanol (13a), was elucidated.

An (E)-(R)-2-alkyl-4-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-en-1-yl)-2-buten-1-ol represented by formula (I): wherein R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and a process for preparing the same comprising hydrogenating a corresponding (E)-(R)-2-alkyl-4-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-en-1-yl)-2-buten-1-al in the presence of a ruthenium-phosphine complex as a catalyst, a base comprising an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, and an amine. The compound (I) has an excellent sandalwood oil odor.
