Procedure
2,6-Dimethyl-6-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-cyclohex-2-enone (5.00 g, 26.04 mmol) was added dropwise to a suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (0.73 g, 18.2 mmol) in diethyl ether at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The resulting suspension was quenched with water, aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and again water, was then filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was distilled (bp. 110° C./0.1 Torr) to yield 4.93 g (98%) of the alcohol as a mixture of 2 diastereomers. 1H-NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): 5.49 (bs, 1H, 3-H), 5.34-5.15 (m, 1H, 2′-H), 3.57/3.44 (2d, J=4.5, 5.5 Hz, 1H, 1-H), 2.25-1.82 (m, 4H), 1.81-1.71 (m, 6H), 1.65/1.61 (2s, 3H), 1.62-1.19 (m, 3H), 0.93/0.82 (2s, 3H, 6-CH3) ppm. GC/MS (EI) isomer a: 194 (M+, 4), 176 (44), 161 (42), 125 (12), 107 (94), 84 (70), 69 (38), 55 (50), 43 (100). IR (ATR): 3365s, 2966s, 2916vs, 1450s, 1375s, 1239m, 1030m, 1007 s cm−1.
