On working up the mixture by distillation when the reaction has ceased, 490 g of 2-methyl-2-hepten-6-one, 95 g of unconverted 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, 13 g of acetone and 4 g of isoprene are obtained. The yield (448 g) is 89% of theory, based on methyl acetoacetate employed, and 90.1%, based on methylbutenol converted.
