To a solution of 1.8 g. of 6,10-dimethylundeca-3,9-dien-2-one in 20 ml. of ethanol, cooled to 0° by an ice bath is added a suspension of 2.32 g. of mercuric acetate in 50 ml. of ethanol over 15 minutes. The reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hours and then, with cooling, to -20°, 1.22 g. of potassium hydroxide in 20 ml. of ethanol is added. Then 0.139 g. of sodium borohydride is added in small portions and stirring continued for 30 minutes at -20°. The solution is decanted, then concentrated to half volume, diluted with 100 ml. of water and extracted with ether (3 × 50). The ethereal phase is washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and the crude product chromatographed on silica to yield 10-ethoxy-6,10-dimethylundec-3-en-2-one.
