Reaction Steps

A solution of 4 g of 4-[4E-(trans-4-pentylcyclohexyl)-3-butenyl]benzaldehyde (prepared according to Example 5) in 100 ml of acetone was treated dropwise with 10 ml of Jones' reagent. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then poured into 100 ml of water. The precipitate which thereby resulted was filtered off, washed portionwise with water and dried in a vacuum. The crude product was recrystallized from ethanol and gave 2.5 g of pure 4-[4E-(trans-4-pentylcyclohexyl)-3-butenyl]benzoic acid.
