Participants

Reaction Steps

0.4 moles (66.4 g) 1-(1,4,6-trimethylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)-ethan-1-one (as per Example 1) was then added dosewise at 70° C. to the reaction mixture according to (a). Then stirring was continued for another hour at 70° C. The reaction mixture was then cooled, poured on 300 g ice, and the precipitated magnesium salt was dissolved with 30 ml glacial acetic acid. Finally the phases were separated, the organic phase neutralized with sodium bicarbonate solution, the solvent drawn off and the residue subjected to fractional distillation. 30 g of the desired end product were obtained, corresponding to 40% of the theoretical amount.
