Participants

Reaction Steps

4,4-Dimethyl-cyclohexene-1-one (5 g, 52 mmol) and n-pentane (50 mL) were placed in a hydrogen reaction vessel and Pd/C (300 mg) was added. The hydrogen reaction vessel was purged three times with hydrogen and subsequently pressurized with hydrogen (25 psi). After shaking in a Parr hydrogenator for 30 min., the reaction mixture was filtered though Celite and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound.
