    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject compound useful as a raw material for medicines with slight formation of by-products in excellent space and time yield and in a high conversion ratio, by taking out a mixture containing a specific amount of β-isophorone from a reaction solution during isomerization of α-isophorone by distillation. SOLUTION: While (A) 3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexa-2-en-1-one is isomerized by (B) a catalyst [e.g. a (mixed) oxide of the groups IIa and VIII of the periodic table, to be concrete, Ca or Mg(mixed) oxide or Co or Ni (mixed) oxide], a mixture containing 0.5-75wt.%, preferably 0.5-40wt.% of 3,5,5- trimethylcyclohexa-3-en-I-one (β-isophorone) is taken out by distillation and β-isophorone is isolated by vacuum distillation from the mixture.
