[O:1]=[C:2]([CH:4]=[C:5]([CH3:7])[CH3:6])[CH3:3].[CH2:8]=[O:9]>>[CH3:6][C:5]([CH:4]([CH2:8][OH:9])[C:2](=[O:1])[CH3:3])=[CH2:7]The reaction is carried out at temperatures between 20° and 130° C. The reaction time is, for example, 3 hours at 30° C and a few minutes at 100° C. Advantageously, the mesityl oxide and catalyst are initially introduced and formaldehyde is metered in. The 2-methyl-3-hydroxymethyl-pent-1-en-4-one can be isolated from the reaction mixture by, for example, distillation, advantageously after neutralising the basic catalyst.
