A mixture of ethyl 2-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-3-hydroxybutyrate (23.0g, 0.107 mol), acetic anhydride (14.28g, 0.14 mol), dimethylaminopyridine (0.714g, 0.0058 mol), 1,8diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (42.5g, 0.28 mol) and toluene (250 mL) was heated in a stainless steel autoclave at 110° C. for 4h and then at 150° C. for 6h. The mixture was cooled, washed sequentially with water (50 mL), 2N HCl (3×50 mL), sodium bicarbonate solution until neutral, and dried (sodium sulfate). The solvent was evaporated and the residue distilled to provide 9.93g of ethyl 2-ethylidene-6-methyl-5-heptenoate (GLC purity 94%, about an 8:1 mixture of E:Z isomers).
