78 g (0.5 mol) of 1-(3,3-dimethyl-cyclohexyl)-ethanol, 80.3 g (0.55 mol) of 4-methoxy-3-oxo-butanecarboxylic acid methyl ester and 0.6 g sodium ethylate in 50 g methanol were placed in a 500-ml stirred vessel and boiled under reflux, distilling-off the methanol via a still head. Then 100 ml water and 100 ml toluene were added to the reaction solution at room temperature, the aqueous phase was separated, the organic phase was washed with water until neutral and concentrated by evaporation. The raw product (136 g) was fractionated on a 30-cm Vigreux column in vacuum.
