Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude 3,3,5,5-Tetramethyl-cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde (650 mg, 3.8 mmol) was treated with methylmagnesium bromide (4.5 mmol, 1.2 eq) in THF (20 mL) at 0° C., and allowing to warm to RT following a method analogous to General Procedure I to produce 1-(3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-cyclohexyl)-ethanol (400 mg) after quenching the reaction at 0° C. with 2N HCl, extraction of the product with EtOAc, and evaporation of the solvent under vacuum. The crude material was used without purification in the next step.
