2-Benzylidenecyclohexanone → HCID 12118799, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Then, 10 g of 2-benzylidenecyclohexanone were hydrogenated at room temperature using 1 g of Raney nickel in methanol under hydrogen pressure (3 kg/cm2) until the absorption of hydrogen was stopped. After an organic layer was collected by decantation and concentrated, the residue was purified by column chromatography, thereby obtaining 4.6 g of cis-2-benzylcyclohexanol and 4.4 g of trans-2-benzylcyclohexanol (yield: 88% in total).
