Participants

Reaction Steps

Cyclohexane-1,4-dione monoethyleneacetal is reacted with a Grignard reagent prepared from 1-ethoxy-4-bromobenzene, and the product is dehydrated and then hydrogenated in the same manner as in process A (if desired, ethyleneacetal is re-introduced). The acetal moiety is removed to obtain 4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone, which is then deuterated in the same manner as in process A to obtain 4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)cyclohexanone-2,2,6,6-d4. The deuterated compound is reacted with a Grignard reagent prepared from propyl bromide, and the product is dehydrated and hydrogenated. The cis-compound is separated to obtain 1-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl-3,3,5-d3)-4-ethoxybenzene. ##STR61##
