Reaction Steps

A mixture of 150 parts of 2-methyl-1-hepten-6-one and 50 parts of citral is heated with 20 parts of zinc oxide in a round flask while stirring for 4 hours at 160° C and atmospheric pressure. Water thus formed is removed by distillation. The fractionation which follows gives 61 parts of 2,10,14-trimethylpentadeca-1,7,9,13-tetraen-6-one having a boiling point of 118° to 120° C at 10116 4 mm. The yield is 88% of theory based on citral, at a conversion of 81%.
