Reaction Steps

A mixture of 200 g of cuminic aldehyde, 200 g of 1,2-dimethoxy-ethane and 6 g of ruthenium -- 5% on charcoal; Doduco Chemie Werk, Sinsheim Elsenz, West Germany -- were heated in a stainless steel autoclave at 130° and at a pressure of 100 atm, for 25 h. The obtained reaction mixture was then filtered and subjected to a fractional distillation to yield 176 g (85%) of a 70 : 30 (parts by weight) mixture of cis and trans-4-isopropyl-cyclohexylmethanol.
