Procedure

380 g of 2,4-di-tert-butylcyclohexanone (mixed isomers) in 200 ml of ether are added dropwise with vigorous stirring to a suspension of 34.3 g (903 mmol) of lithium aluminium hydride in 1800 ml of ether over 4 hours, and the batch is subsequently stirred at 23° C. for 1 hour and admixed with 500 ml of 5% hydrochloric acid by vigorous stirring. The organic phase is separated off and washed twice with 250 ml of water each time. The organic phase is dried over MgSO4, evaporated and dried under reduced pressure to leave 337.80 g (88% of theory) of 2,4-di-tert-butylcyclohexanol (mixed isomers) as colourless wax.
