Reaktionsschritte

Example 3 was repeated, replacing (-)-menthol by 2,6-dimethylcyclohexanol (6.4 g; 50 mmol), using 5.1 cm3 (60 mmol) of 40% of H2O2, adding 4 g of anhydrous MgSO4 and reducing the reaction time to 30 minutes. 5.61 g (44.5 mmol) of 2,6-dimethyl-cyclohexanone were obtained (GLC purity>99%), which corresponds to a 89% yield.
