Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,4-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-enone (17.8 g, 0.14 mol) in EtOAC (290 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (0.36 g). The reaction mixture was subjected to hydrogenation for 8 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then filtered through a pad of Celite@, and washed with EtOAc (500 mL). Removal of the solvent provided the title compound as a white wax (15.6 g, 86%). MH+127.
