Procedure

To a solution of 2,2-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (2.00 g, 14.3 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) was added sodium borohydride (135 mg, 3.58 mmol) portion-wise at 0° C. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford the title compound (1.6 g, crude). MS (ESI) m/z 143.2 [M+H]+.
