Procedure

50 Parts of 3,3-dimethyl-acrolein and 100 parts of acetone are heated with 12 parts of a catalyst (which has been prepared by calcining a mixture of equimolar amounts of magnesium oxide, molybdenum dioxide and zinc oxide) for 3 hours at 180° C and a pressure of 30 atmospheres and the product is subjected to fractional distillation. 27 Parts of 2-methyl-2,4-heptadien-6-one is obtained which is equivalent to a yield of 43% of theory at a conversion of 86% based on 3,3-dimethyl-acrolein.
