4,4-Diethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one → 4,4-Diethylcyclohexan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4,4-diethyl-cyclohex-2-enone (10.7 g, 70.5 mmol) in EA (400 mL) is treated with Pd/C (1.0 g, 10% Pd). The suspension is stirred at rt for 24 h under 1 bar of H2. The mixture is filtered, and the filtrate is evaporated to give 4,4-diethyl-cyclohexanone (11.7 g) as a colourless solid; 1H NMR (CD3OD): δ 2.32 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 4H), 1.66 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 4H), 1.48 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 4H), 0.88 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 6H).
