Reaction Steps

8.0 g (0.2 mol) of sodium hydroxide are added to a solution of 30.4 g (0.2 mol) of 3,4 -methylendioxy-benzylalcohol in 300 cc of benzene. The mixture is heated while stirring vigorously and kept at reflux temperature whereby the water condensing in a refrigerator is separated by means of a water separator. After 24 hours 35.3 g (0.2 mol) of 1-chloro-5-isopropoxy-3-methyl-2-pentene are added dropwise during the course of 1 hour and the mixture is stirred under reflux for a further 16 hours.
