Abstract
A method for producing a bicyclic hydrocarbon molecule includes oxidizing a terpene molecule to provide a first intermediate compound, wherein the first intermediate compound includes an aldehyde functional group, reacting the first intermediate compound with a 1,3-diene molecule to form a second intermediate compound including the aldehyde functional group, and reducing the second intermediate compound to yield a first bicyclic hydrocarbon molecule, wherein reducing the second intermediate compound includes removing the aldehyde functional group.
