A solution of trimethyl cyclohex-5-ene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate (0.50 g, 1.9 mmol) in methylene chloride (15 ml) containing a catalytic amount of palladium on carbon (150 mg, 5 percent Pd/C, 7.5 mg Pd, 4 mole percent) is stirred at room temperature under balloon pressure of hydrogen gas for 2 hours, at which point GC-MS analysis shows complete conversion. Filtration and removal of the solvent provides trimethyl cyclohexane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate as a clear, colorless gel (0.42 g, 1.6 mmol, 85 percent yield).
