  • Department of Chemistry, Panjab University, Chandigarh-160014. Manuscript received 17 April 1975, accepted 24 June 1975 Selina-4(14),7(11)-diene, the title compound has been synthesised from trans-8-Methylene­10-Methyl-2-decalone(II) through a four steps procedure. Modified Wittig reaction with ethyl \(\alpha\)-diethyl-phosphonopropionate on the decalose(II) gives the conjugated ester (III) which on lithium aluminium hydride reduction yields the allylic alcohol(IV). Conversion of the carbinol(IV) to trans-8-Methylene-10-methyl-2-isopropylidene-decalin(I) has been achieved through direct hydro­genolysis with sodium-ethanol in liquid ammonia as well as through bromide formation followed by the reduction of the bromide(V) using sodium borohydride in DMSO.
