✦ Synopsis

The selective reduction of the exocyclic methylene group to produce one stereoisomer is frequently required in the synthesis of terpenoid natural products' 2

or in industrial processes .

Homogeneous and heterogeneous hydrogenations of 4-t-butylmethylenecyclohexane3, 4 B-pinene , and 2-methyl.methylenecyclohexane5 have been carried out with noble metal catalysts
