Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-10-on-1-ol (47.6 g) in acetic anhydride (61 g), pryidine (16 g) is added, and the resultant mixture is allowed to stand while cooling with ice for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is poured on ice and extracted with ether. The ether extract is washed with aqueous saturated solution of sodium chloride, aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and water in order, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give 1-acetoxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-10-one (53 g) as an oil.
