A solution of lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride (267 mL of a 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran, 0.27 mol) was added to a cooled (-65° C.) solution of 3-(3-methoxy-3-methlybut-1-yl)-5-methylcyclohexan-1-one (48.6 g, 0.22 mol) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (350 mL). The solution was stirred at 25° C. for 16 hours and was quenched by addition of sodium hydroxide (10% aqueous, 165 mL) followed by hydrogen peroxide (30% aqueous, 170 mL). Workup yielded 3-(3-methoxy-3-methylbutyl)-5-methyl cyclohexan-1-ol as a mixture of diastereoisomers (ratio 90.1:7.2:2.7), bp0.75 120°-122° C. (40.7 g). This compound and mixtures of diastereomers possess strong, tenacious, sandalwoody, musky notes.
