Procedure: 44 g of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(3-methylphenyl)-propionaldehyde (according to Example 3) were added in small portions under argon and at 20° C. to a pre-mix of 150 ml of isopropanol and 3.8 g of sodium borohydride. The entire mixture was stirred for 24 hours at 20° C. Excess sodium borohydride was then decomposed by the dropwise addition of 2N HCl. The reaction mixture was then taken up in 150 ml of diethyl ether and extracted with water, 2N NaOH and, again, with water. extracted with water, 2N NaOH

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of 10 g of methylmagnesium chloride in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added at a temperature of from 25° C. to 30° C., and with the exclusion of air, to 17 g of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(3-methylphenyl)-propionaldehyde (according to Example 3). After 5 hours at 30° C., the reaction mixture was poured onto ice and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The phases were then separated and the organic phase was washed with 100 ml of water and 100 ml of sodium bicarbonate solution. Finally, drying was carried out with solid potassium carbonate. Fractional distillation yielded 15 g of end product at 0.12 mbar in a temperature range of from 79° C. to 82° C. the reaction mixture was poured onto ice The phases were then separated the organic phase was washed with 100 ml of water and 100 ml of sodium bicarbonate solution Finally, drying Fractional distillation yielded 15 g of end product at 0.12 mbar in a temperature range of from 79° C. to 82° C.

Procedure: A pre-mix of 23.3 g of NaOH, 2.5 g of tetrabutylammonium iodide, 107 ml of water, 25 ml of toluene and 9 ml of tetrahydrofuran under argon was heated to 70° C. A mixture of 70 g (0.5 moles) of 3-methylbenzyl chloride and 50.4 g (0.7 moles) of isobutyraldehyde was added dropwise to this pre-mix within a period of 2 hours while stirring vigorously. The reaction mixture was then maintained at a temperature of 75° C. for 3 hours. After separating the phases and removing the solvents, 66.5 g of end product were obtained by fractional distillation at 0.12 mbar in a temperature range of from 50° C. to 52° C. was added dropwise to this pre-mix within a period of 2 hours The reaction mixture was then maintained at a temperature of 75° C. for 3 hours After separating the phases removing the solvents, 66.5 g of end product were obtained by fractional distillation at 0.12 mbar in a temperature range of from 50° C. to 52° C.
