The dehydroxymethylation of primary bicyclic alcohols to hydrocarbons containing one carbon atom less than the original alcohols has been studied. The catalysts used were nickel-Kieselguhr, Raney nickel and nickel-alumina. The alcohols investigated were: hydronopol, nopol, myrtanol and 2-methyl-5-hydroxymethylbicyclo [3.2. 1] octane. The hydrogenolysis proceeded in most cases in good yields at 160-180 and 65-100 atmospheres of pressure. 2, 2-Dimethylnorpinane formed from the hydrogenolysis of myrtanol, yielded isopropylbenzene on the dehydrogenation over platinum-alumina catalyst.In previous papers1· 3 it was shown that, inthe presence ofnickel catalysts, primary alcohols yield hydrocarbons having one less carbon atom. The extensive isomerization that occurs during many reactions in the terpene series made it of interest to ascertain if the cleavage of primary bicyclic terpene alcohols is accompanied by isomerization.
