Geraniol → 3,7-Dimethyl-1-octanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the general procedure, a solution of geraniol (52 μL, 0.29 mmol) and rac-32 (9.0 mg, 0.0057 mmol, 2.0 mol %) in CH2Cl2 (3 mL) was pressurized with H2 to 62 bar and stirred for 24 h. Filtration of the reaction mixture and evaporation of the solvent gave 44 as a clear liquid (47 mg, 98%). 1H NMR30 (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 3.68 (m, 2H), 1.61-1.17 (m, 10H), 0.90 (s, 9H); 13C NMR (75.5 MHz, CDCl3): δ 61.4, 30.1, 39.4, 37.5, 29.7, 28.1, 24.8, 22.8, 22.7, 19.8.
