Participants

Reaction Steps

Sulfuric acid (0.073 ml, 1.375 mmol) was added to a mixture of (trans)-4-oxo-2-phenylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (1.5 g, 6.87 mmol) in EtOH (15 ml). The reaction was aged at 77° C. for 14 h. The cooled reaction was quenched with NaOH (1N) and extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried under reduced pressure and purified via silica gel column chromatography (0-40% EtOAc:Hexanes) to afford ethyl(trans)-4-oxo-2-phenylcyclohexanecarboxylate (526 mg, 31%) as a colorless oil. MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 247.
