Reaction Steps

The reaction of acetophenone (12 grams, 0.1 mole) with the enolate of ethyl 3-methylvalerate (14.4 grams, 0.1 mole) is carried out in the manner described in Example I. Distillation yields 9.5 grams (36%) of the pure product, b.p. 75°-80° C. (air bath temperature) at 0.05 mm Hg. I.R., N.M.R. and M.S. data confirm the above structure.
