For example, the reaction mixture is allowed to cool, insoluble matters are removed by filtration, the filtrate is extracted with a suitable organic solvent such as methylene chloride, toluene, benzene, etc., the solvent is distilled off from the extract, and the residue is subjected to column chromatography. Refine quickly. Distillation is undesirable because the desired 8,9-didehydronotkatone is easily isomerized by heat to form vetibone, and the product thus obtained is a mixture of nootkatone and 8,9-didehydronotkatone. Since both the recombinant compound and the recombinant compound are used as one of the flavor components of grapefruit, it is not necessary to separate them.
