Procedure

4-Ethyl 1-(3-methoxy-2-propen-1-yl)benzene was similarly prepared as described in Examples I and II. First, 4-ethyl benzaldehyde (925 g, commercially available from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.) was used to obtain 3-(4-ethyl-phenyl)-propionaldehyde (878 g) with a boiling point of 129° C. at a pressure of 12 mmHg. 3-(4-Ethyl-phenyl)-propionaldehyde (235 g) was consequently used to provide 4-ethyl 1-(3-methoxy-2-propen-1-yl)benzene (128 g) with a boiling point of 120° C. at a pressure of 10 mmHg.
