Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

64 g of the foregoing ketone are hydrogenated in a stirring autoclave in the presence of 6 g of copper chromite and under 40 bar hydrogen pressure. The temperature is firstly brought to 140° C. When the hydrogen absorption slows down (after 3 hours), the autoclave is heated to 170° C. and held for 3 hours between 165° C. and 170° C. After cooling down to 25° C., the catalyst is filtered off under suction and the filtrate is distilled. There are obtained 56 g (85.4%) of chemically pure 2,4-dimethyl-nonan-8-ol.
