Reaction Steps

4-methoxy-3,5-diethyl-2,6-dimethyl-benzyl-triphenylphosphonium chloride is condensed with 7-formyl-3-methyl-octa-2,4,6-trien-1-oic acid ethyl ester to produce the 9-(4-methoxy-3,5-diethyl-2,6-dimethyl-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-methoxy-3,5-diethyl-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)acid, m.p: 153°-154° C.
