Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-methoxy-4-methyl-2-(3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohex-1-enyl)benzene (1.0 g, 3.87 mmol) produced in Example (104a) in methanol (30 mL) was added 10% palladium on carbon (0.6 g, wet), followed by stirring for 12 hours at room temperature and atmospheric pressure under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1.0 g of a crude product of the title compound as a yellow oil.
