5,13-Diethyl-10-methyl-8-heptadecanone: A Component of Post - 1976 Kelex 100

Abstract

The title compound was prepared by mixed aldol condensation of 2-ethylhexanal and acetone, double bond hydrogenation, aldol autocondensation of the resulting saturated ketone and finel double bond hydrogenation. It is identical with the ketone C 22 H 44 O previously isolated from new Kelex 100 which was erroneously assigned a furoquinoline structure.
