The title dienone 1, useful for modification, improvement or increasing organoleptic properties of tobacco, sucrose syrups, flavored beverages, was prepared in 40-55percent overall yield from isophorone, by chlorination of 2-hydroxy-isophorone (2), rearrangement into 6-chloro-2-hydroxyisophorone (5) and dehydrochlorination.An excellent yield of 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-4,4,6-trimethyl-2,5-cyclohexenone (12) was obtained by chlorination of 5 followed by dehydrohalogenation.
