Reaction Steps

2-ethoxycarbonyl-9-cycloheptadecenone will be refluxed with about 10% NaOH in methanol for about 1 hour to give civetone. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture will be neutralized using about 10% sulfuric acid. The product will be extracted using ether and can be purified using silica-gel chromatography.
