The mixture is then stirred for a further 5 minutes at 5° C., treated with 500 ml of ether, the ether phase is washed three times with water, three times with soda solution and again three times with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. Distillation of the resulting 125 g of crude product over a 10 cm Widmer column gave 103 g of more than 94% pure 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-3-oxo-cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-but- 3-en-2-one of boiling point 109°-110° C./0.05 mm Hg; melting point 50°-51° C.
