## Abstract A convenient, oneβstep synthesis of doubly ^13^Cβlabelled Γβionone was accomplished by aqueous sodium hydroxide catalyzed aldol condensation of 1,3β^13^C~2~βacetone with the recently commercially available Γβcyclocitral. This retinolβlike compound obtained in ca. 60% yield, should prove
