(R)-3,3,6-Trimethyl-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]furan

(R)-3,3,6-trimethyl-3,3a,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]furan was obtained by the acid cyclization of the alcohol (S)-(2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclopent-1-en-1-yl)methanol, which, in turn, is obtained from (R)-limonene. The structure of the new compound was established using NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, and HMBC spectra) and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The chemical shifts of the proton and carbon atoms were calculated at the DFT level with a high correlation between the calculated and experimental values.
