Procedure

81.5 g of 1,1-dimethyl-4-cyano-tetralin are added dropwise to 49 g of potassium tert.butylate in 400 ml of tert.butanol and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. At 5° C. there are then added dropwise 72 g of methyl iodide and the mixture is stirred for 15 hours without cooling. The bulk of the tert.butanol is distilled off, the residue is taken up in ether and washed neutral with water, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. The residue is distilled in vacuo and there are obtained 61 g of 1,1,4-trimethyl-4-cyano-tetralin of boiling point 85° C./0.25 mmHg; melting point 46° C.; yield 70%. Odour: resembling (3), but more intensive, woody.
