4,4-dipropylcyclohex-2-en-1-one → 4,4-dipropylcyclohexan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 10% palladium on carbon (0.1 equivalents) in ethyl acetate was added 4,4 dipropylcyclohex-2-enone, prepared as described in Example 3. The reaction mixture was hydrogenated at 300N/m2 hydrogen in a Parr hydrogenation apparatus at room temperature until hydrogen uptake has ceased (0.5-5 hours). The catalyst was removed by filtration through celite and the filtrate was concentrated to give the desired product as a colorless oil. The product was used without further purification. Yield 98%.
