Procedure

While stirring a mixture of 52.5 g (0.536 mol) of cyclohexanone and 13.5 g (0.188 mol) of isobutylaldehyde, a solution prepared by dissolving 2.2 g of sodium hydroxide in 50 ml of methanol is dropwise added to the mixture at a temperature of from room temperature to 40° C., and reacted at room temperature for 2 hours. After the reaction, 20 ml of benzene was added, and the reaction mixture was washed three times with 100 ml of water. From the organic layer, benzene and unreacted cyclohexanone were recovered by distillation, and the distillation was continued, whereby 2-isobutylidene cyclohexanone was obtained in the yield of 37% (based on the isobutylaldehyde) under reduced pressure of 6 mmHg at a temperature of from 95° to 105° C.
