Reaction Steps

A suspension of 15.8 g of isophorone in 110 ml of water was cooled down to 0° C. Then a stream of oxygen which contains about 4 percent of ozone was introduced until the suspension was saturated with ozone. The entire matter was now heated to 95° C. and was boiled for 3 hours under reflux. The 3,3-dimethyl-5-oxo-hexanoic acid was subsequently isolated by evaporation of water under vacuum.
