Reaction Steps

52 g (0.25 mole) of 1-acetyl-1-cyclododecene, prepared as described in Example 2, are added over 30 minutes to 200 ml of a 1.5-molar solution of methyl-magnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran at from 0° to +10° C. After completion of the addition, the reaction mixture is hydrolyzed with 20 ml of water and the tetrahydrofuran solution is filtered to remove the salt which has precipitated. After destilling off the tetrahydrofuran under reduced pressure (50° C./20 mbars) the product which remains is fractionated. 52 g of dimethyl-cyclododecenyl-carbinol (96% yield) of boiling point=108°-112° C./0.01 mm Hg and refractive index nD25 =1.5000 are obtained.
