Procedure
6-(5,5-dimethylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-6-oxohexanal (6.67 g, 0.03 mol.), toluene (20 g, 300 wt. %) and (ethylenediamine)[1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]ruthenium (bispivalate) (2.3 mg, 0.003 mmol, 0.01 mol.%) were loaded altogether in a 125 ml autoclave equipped with a mechanical stirring device. Sealed autoclave was then purged under stirring with nitrogen (3 times 5 bars) and hydrogen (3 times 5 bars) before being pressurized to 50 bars hydrogen. It was then heated to 100° C. and hydrogen pressure was maintained to 50 bars during all the reaction to afford desired product with 97.5% selectivity. Upon reaction completion (checked by both hydrogen consumption and GC), autoclave was then cooled down to 25° C. It was then depressurized and purged with nitrogen (3 times 5 bars) and reaction mixture was then transferred to a round-bottomed flask and solvent was removed under vacuum. After flash chromatography, 1-(5,5-dimethylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-6-hydroxyhexan-1-one was obtained in 93% yield.
