Procedure

36 g of 85% phosphoric acid, 36 g of polyphosphoric acid, 175 ml of toluene and 72 g of 2-methyl-5-phenyl-oct-2-en-6-one are heated together at 100° C. for 2 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere and while stirring. The mixture is left to cool, 250 ml of ice/water are added, the aqueous phase is separated and the organic phase is subjected to a steam distillation. The distillate is separated from the water and distilled in vacuo. There are obtained 50 g of 1,1-dimethyl-4-propionyl-tetralin of boiling point 75° C./0.05 mmHg; nD20 =1.5263; yield 70%. Odour: see (3).
