Cyclic ethers or chloroketones useful as fragrance components or intermediates are made by reacting a saturated, tertiary terpene alcohol with hypochloric acid under conditions effective to promote oxidation. trans-Pinanol gives predominantly 6,9-dimethyl-7-oxatricyclo[4.3.0.03,9]-nonane, while cis-pinanol yields almost exclusively 1-acetyl-3-(2-chloroethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-cyclobutane, a new and versatile intermediate for making cyclobutane derivatives having interesting and diverse aromas.
