48. Reaction of 4c with Ti(III) in the presence of water led to the formation of a 16% yield of methyl (2E,6E)-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoate. With 4d, a 12% yield of methyl (2E,6Z)-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoate was obtained in the presence of 2,4,6-collidine hydrochloride. In both cases, the corresponding homocoupling products were also formed (Table 1, entries 9 and 10).

Previous syntheses of onocerane derivatives, most relying on numerous steps, can be found in references cited in the above-mentioned paper.
