## Abstract Alkylation of ethyl geranate (5) with the bromo esters 7 and 8 gave the β,γ‐unsaturated esters 10 and 11, which could be isomerized to 13 and 14 by treatment with DBU. The α,β‐unsaturated esters 12–14 were cyclized to 15–17, and subsequent reduction of 15–17 led to the diols 18–20. Fina

Abstract
The aldehydes rac‐1, rac‐2, and 3 were conveniently prepared by starting from isophorone (4). Reaction of 1–3 with (E,Z)‐1‐bromo‐1‐propene (14) afforded the rac‐allylic alcohols (E,Z)‐15, ‐18, and ‐20. The alcohols were oxidized to the damascone/damascenone analogs 1‐(3,5,5‐trimethyl‐2‐cyclohexen‐1‐yl)‐ (rac‐16), 1‐(3,5,5‐trimethyl‐1‐cyclohexen‐1‐yl)‐ (rac‐19), and 1‐(3,5,5‐trimethyl‐1,3‐cyclohexadien‐1‐yl)‐2‐buten‐1‐one (21), and the (E/Z) isomers were separated by FC. Their olfactory evaluation shows that the highly estimated odor of damascone (A, B) and damascenone (C) is more or less lost. This result can be explained by force‐field calculation of the lowest energy conformation of 16, 19, and 21 in comparison with those of A–C.
