Procedure: A mixture of 3.6 g of 2-(4-pentenyl)-1,3-propanediol, 4.4 g of p-butoxybenzaldehyde, 75 ml of toluene and 3 drops of 10% sulphuric acid was heated to boiling for 2.5 hours, whereby about 50 ml of wet solvent were distilled off and were replaced by the dropwise addition of 50 ml of fresh toluene. Thereafter, the mixture was neutralized with 4 drops of triethylamine and, after cooling, was extracted twice with 50 ml of 5% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution each time and twice with 50 ml of water each time. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. The residue (7.5 g) was chromatographed on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (vol. 92:8), whereby 4.2 g of trans-4-(p-butoxyphenyl)-5-(4-pentenyl)-m-dioxane were obtained. Two-fold recrystallization from hexane gave 2.2 g of pure product with m.p. (C-N) 29.5° C. and cl.p. (N-I) 30.7° C. was heated whereby about 50 ml of wet solvent were distilled off were replaced by the dropwise addition of 50 ml of fresh toluene after cooling was extracted twice with 50 ml of 5% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution each time The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate concentrated The residue (7.5 g) was chromatographed on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (vol. 92:8)

Procedure: A suspension of 13.8 g of lithium aluminium hydride in 500 ml of tetrahydrofuran was treated dropwise under nitrogen at 0°-5° C. within 1 hour with a solution of 33.2 g of diethyl (4-pentenyl)malonate in 125 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature and then heated to boiling for 3 hours. After cooling there were cautiously added dropwise to the reaction mixture firstly 25 ml of acetone and then 25 ml of saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The resulting slurry was suction filtered and the residue on the suction filter was washed four times with tetrahydrofuran. Concentration of the filtrate gave 17.8 g of 2-(4-pentenyl)-1,3-propanediol (purity 89%) as a yellow liquid. heated to boiling for 3 hours After cooling there filtered the residue on the suction filter was washed four times with tetrahydrofuran
