New process for the preparation of p-butyl-tert.benzene derivatives. In this process, p-butyl tert-benzyl chloride is converted with a 2-formylpropionate of formula (II) in which R represents lower alkyl, for example alkyl comprising from 1 to 6 C atoms and in particular methyl or ethyl and the where appropriate, the compound obtained of formula (I) in which R has the meaning given above is converted, optionally after purification, by decarbalkoxylation into p-butyl tert.-alpha-methyl-aldehyde hydrocinnamic. |
