%X Acid-catalysed dehydration of each of the 8&#946;-hydroxy compounds (1a) and (1b) gives initially the &#916;7 (3), &#916;8(14) (4) and &#916;8 (5) olefins. After extended reaction times the rearranged 8&#945;-&#916;5(16), 8&#945;-&#916;5(10) (14) and 8&#946;- &#916;5(10) (15) olefins are major products; the 8&#946;-&#916;5(10) olefin (15) is the only significant product of long-term acid treatment of the 8&#946;-alcohol (1b) or of the other olefins (3b), (4b), (5b), (14b) and (16b).
