Participants

Reaction Steps

4,4-Dimethyl-cyclohexene-1-one (5 g, 40.3 mmol) and n-pentane (15 ml) were placed in a hydrogen reaction vessel, and Pd/C (500 mg) was added. The hydrogen reaction vessel was pressurized with hydrogen (25 psi), and reacted for 30 min. After the reaction finished, the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (5 g, 98%).
