Reaction Steps

2,5,7-Trimethyl-1,4-octadien-3-one can be prepared, for example, from 2,4,7-trimethyl-7-octen-5-yn-4-ol by propargylic rearrangement in a manner known per se with the aid of a vanadium catalyst. By catalytically hydrogenating the resulting dienone at room temperature, as described hereinbefore, there is obtained 2,5,7-trimethyl-3-octanone. 6,8-Dimethyl-3-nonen-2-one can be prepared, for example, by aldol condensation of 3,5-dimethyl-hexanal with acetone.
