To a stirred solution of 2.5 g. of 11-methylthio-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienoic acid in 20 ml. of dry ether is added slowly at 0°, 23 ml. of a one molar solution of ethyl lithium in benzene. After about 3 hours at 20°, the mixture is poured into iced 1N hydrochloric acid (100 ml.) with vigorous stirring. The ether layer is separated, combined with ethereal washings of the aqueous phase, washed with water, saturated potassium bicarbonate and then saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 13-methylthio-5,9,13-trimethyltetradeca-4,6-dien-3-one, which can be purified by chromatography.
