Reaction Steps

3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-1-yn-10-en-3-ol can easily be synthesized by halogenating citronellol, which is used as a perfume, with phosphorus trichloride or phosphorus tribromide, reacting the halogenation product with ethyl acetoacetate to form 6,10-dimethylundeca-9-en-2-one, and subjecting it to ethynylation in the same manner as described above.
