1-[3-(Propylthio)butyryl]-2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexene (18) was synthesized from the reaction of 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-l-en-1-yllithium (9) with 3-propylthiobutyraldehyde (16). This method will be employed to prepare 1-[3-(methylthio)butyryl]-2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexene (1) which is known as one of the powerful flavors and fragrances.
