Reaction Steps

50 parts of prenol and 50 parts of 3,3-dimethylacrolein have 3 parts of silica gel added and are heated for six hours at 135°C with azeotropic removal of water. The silica gel is then filtered off and the filtrate is distilled. 42.5 parts of citral is obtained, equivalent to a conversion of 66% and a yield of 71% (based on 3,3-dimethylacrolein).
