Procedure

A mixture of 2,3,6-trimethyl-4-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)phenol (30 g, 0.15 mol), platinum oxide (3 g), and acetic acid (150 mL) was hydrogenated at 50° C. and 200-300 psig until hydrogen uptake ceased. The mixture was filtered to remove the catalyst and the filtrate poured into water. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate and the extract washed successively with water, 5% sodium bicarbonate solution, and brine. The organic layer was dried, the solvent removed, and the residue fractionated to afford 17 g of the desired alcohol, bp 105°-110° C. (1 mm). NMR (CDCl3) δ0.7-2.2 (27H, complex pattern), 3.6 (1H, bs). IR (film) 3700, 1500, 1020, 970 cm-1. MS (m/e) 212 (M+), 123, 35, 69, 95.
