Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8.00 g (54.0 mmol) of 6-methyl-6-isobutylfulvene in 30 ml of ether, 54.0 ml (61.6 mmol) of an ether solution of methyllithium was dropwise added in a nitrogen atmosphere with ice cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 4 days. Then, 30 ml of water was added. The separated organic phase was washed with water and a saturated saline solution, then dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. From the filtrate, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain a liquid. The liquid was subjected to vacuum distillation (120° C./25 mmHg) to obtain 7.10 g (43.2 mmol) of a light yellow liquid (yield: 80%)
