Summary

  1. 1.

    The dehydration of 3,7-dimethyloctane-l,7-diol on a phosphate catalyst proceeds in stages: first to citronellol and then to 3,7-dimethyloctadiene.

  2. 2.

    The stepwise nature of the process is caused by the position of the hydroxyl groups (primary and tertiary) in the 3,7-dimethyloctane-l,7-diol molecule.
