Abstract

following sequence:(1) addition of allylmagnesium chloride to methyl vinyl ketone;(2) dehydration of the unsaturated alcohol 3-methyl-l, 5-hexadien-3-01 (which was established to be free of any ketonic product by identification of the product of quantitative hydrogenation). Dehydration was carried out (A) catalytically over alumina and (B) by flash distillation from phosphorus pentoxide. Method A gave the much higher yield of product
