Reaction Steps

3-Isobutenyl-1-octyn-3-ol (0.180 g; 10-3 mole) is kept at the reflux temperature of tetrahydrofuran and protected from light, in the presence of silver nitrate (0.017 g; 10-4 mole) and potassium nitrate (0.101 g; 10-3 mole) in a mixture (6 cc) of tetrahydrofuran and water (2:1 by volume). After 6 hours of reaction silver nitrate (0.017 g) is again added. Refluxing is continued for another 8.5 hours and the reaction mixture is then treated under the conditions described in Example 1. 2-Methyl-1,4-undecadien-6-one (0.104 g) is obtained.
