Procedure

4-propoxy-2,3,6-trimethyl-benzyl-triphenyl-phosphonium chloride is condensed with 7-formyl-3-methyl-octa-2,4,6-trien-1-oic acid ethyl ester to produce 9-(4-propoxy-2,3,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-3,7-dimethyl-nona-2,4,6,8-tetraen-1-oic acid ethyl ester which is converted by the procedure of Example 7 to 9-(4-propoxy-2,3,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-3,7-dimethyl-nona-2,4,6,8-tetraen-1-oic acid, m.p.: 200°-201° C.
