Reaction Steps

5 g. of Raney nickel are suspended in 200 ml. of methanol and treated slowly with a solution of 2.5 g. of soda in 5 ml. of water. To this mixture are added 97 g. of 3,7,9-trimethyl-2,6-decadien-1-al dissolved in 0.8 liters of methanol and the resulting mixture is hydrogenated. After uptake 2 of equivalents of hydrogen, the catalyst is filtered off, rinsed with 50 ml. of methanol and the filtrate evaporated. The residue is taken up in 300 ml. of ether, washed three times with 200 ml. of water each time, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. By distillation there is obtained pure 3,7,9-trimethyl-6-decen-1-ol of boiling point 90° C/0.7 mm. Hg; nD25 = 1.4570.
