Claim Text:
1. A method for producing 3,5-dimethyldodecanoic acid, comprising the steps of: subjecting 3-methyl-2-pentene-1,5-diacid diester (1): to a condensation reaction and subsequent hydrolysis to obtain 4-carboxy-3,5-dimethyl-3,5-dodecadienoic acid (3): decarboxylating or decarboxylating and hydrolyzing the 4-carboxy-3,5-dimethyl-3,5-dodecadienoic acid (3) into 3,5-dimethyl-2,4-dodecadienoic acid (4): and hydrogenating the 3,5-dimethyl-2,4-dodecadienoic acid (4) into 3,5-dimethyldodecanoic acid (5):
