Participants

Reaction Steps

A pressurized container fitted with stirrer is charged with 2-tertiary-butylphenol, 2-tertiary-butylcyclohexyl acetate and the catalyst. Hydrogenation is carried out at the chosen reaction temperature and hydrogen pressure. The resulting cis-2-tertiary-butylcyclohexanol is obtained following removal of the catalyst by filtration, decantation or centrifugation.
