Reaction Steps

2,3-Dimethylbuta-1,3-diene (2 equiv.) and acrylic acid (1 equiv.) were combined in the presence of 2-bromophenyl boronic acid (0.2 equiv.) and water (0.1 equiv.) in DCM at room temperature for 28 hours. The product, 3,4-dimethylcyclohex-3-enecarboxylic acid, was isolated in 76% yield. When the reaction was repeated without the addition of water, the yield was 90%.
