Procedure

A flask was charged with 7.12 g (36.3 mmol) of (R)-6-cyclohexyl-4-methyl-hexanal, 40 mL of water, 20 mL of acetone, 4 mL acetic acid, and 6.18 g (39.9 mmol) of potassium permanganate. The mixture was stirred vigorously overnight. The mixture was then treated with sat. aqueous sodium bisulfite until the liquid became clear. The liquid was extracted with hexanes. The combined hexane layers were washed with sat. aqueous sodium bisulfite until the hexane layer was clear. The hexane phases were dried with magnesium sulfate. The drying agent was filtered off and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, which yielded 4.17 g (54% yield) of a clear oil: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) ppm 0.89 (m, 5 H), 1.13 (m, 3 H) 1.25 (m, 5 H) 1.66 (m, 8 H) 2.40 (m, 2 H). MS (APCl) m+1/z=211.
