Reaction Steps

134 g (0.5 mol) of 2-(4-chlorobenzyloxy)-3,3-di- methoxy-2-methyl-butane are stirred in 1 liter of toluene with 100 g of ion exchanger (Levatit SP C118) and 200 ml of water at 60° C. for 8 hours. After the ion exchanger has been filtered off with suction, the organic phase is separated off, washed with water and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is distilled. 98 g (87% of theory) of 3-(4-chlorobenzyloxy)-3-methyl-2-butanone of boiling point 95° C. to 100° C./0.03 mm Hg are obtained.
