House vacuum was applied to a mixture of 4-methoxy-3-buten-2-one (14.0 g, 140 mmol) (Fisher Scientific), neopentyl alcohol (18.0 g. 200 mmol), pyrimidium p-toluenesulfonate (0.45 g, 1 mmol) and toluene (50 mL). This was stirred at 25-30° C. for 14 h. All solvent and volatiles were removed by vacuum and the residue was dissolved in hexane (75 mL). This was purified by chromatography (30% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give (E)-4-(2,2-dimethylpropoxy)but-3-en-2-one.
