The resulting mixture is refluxed for 2 hours, cooled and poured into 5% aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. The benzene layer is washed with water, dried and evaporated. The residual material is distilled under reduced pressure to give ethyl 3,7,11-trimethyl-6,10-dodecadien-2-ol-1-carboxylate (100 g) as a pale yellow oil. B.P. 139° to 142°C/0.08 mm Hg.
