Another route involves reacting dimethylcyclohexanone (1A) with a prepared solution of diethoxycarbenium fluoroborate to provide 2-(diethoxymethyl)-4,4-dimethylcyclohexanone (8). The reaction is typically performed below room temperature in a solvent such as but not limited to methylene chloride. Chlorophenyl magnesium bromide is then added to a solution of 2-(diethoxymethyl)-4,4-dimethylcyclohexanone (8) to provide 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(diethoxymethyl)-4,4-dimethylcyclohexanol (9). The reaction is typically performed below room temperature in a solvent such as but not limited to tetrahydrofuran. 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-2-(diethoxymethyl)-4,4-dimethylcyclohexanol (9) can be treated with an acid such as but not limited to HCl, to provide the aldehyde intermediate (2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-1-ene-1-carbaldehyde) (4).
