Participants

Reaction Steps

To 0.1 g of palladium on activated carbon (10%) was added a solution of 4,4-dimethylcyclohex-2-enone (6.23 g, 50 mmol) in petroleum ether. This mixture was stirred under 1 atmosphere of hydrogen for 20 hours. After filtration through celite, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford a white solid (5.7 g, 92%).
