Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

285.7 g of 5-methylhex-5-ene-2,3-dione 3-oxime from Example 1 were dissolved in 750 ml of acetone and admixed with 335.8 g of potassium carbonate. 362 g of diethyl sulfate in 300 ml of acetone were then added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at 23° C. for 2 hours. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure, the residue was taken up in methyl tert-butyl ether/water and the aqueous phase was extracted repeatedly with methyl tert-butyl ether. The combined organic phases were washed with 15% strength ammonia solution and water and dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. This gave 355.4 g of the title compound as a yellow oil.
