tert-Butyl acetate → HCID 73676130, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

110 parts of geraniol, 50 parts of crotonaldehyde and 3.2 parts of t-butyl acetate are heated for six hours at 30 atmospheres pressure and at 150°C in an agitated autoclave having a capacity of 250 parts by volume. Working up gives 85 parts of 7,11-dimethyldodeca2,6,10-trien1-al having a boiling point of 93° to 96°C at 0.2 mm. The yield is 78% of theory at a conversion of 74% (based on crotonaldehyde).
