Reaction Steps

A mixture of (±)-E-4-hydroxy-4-(5-hydroxy-3-methylpent-3-en-1-ynyl)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone (2.0 g, 8.0 mol), manganese dioxide (14 g, 160 mmol), and acetone (50 mL) were combined and strred for 1.5 h. The mixture was filtered, the solvent removed by evaporation, and the residue chromatographed over silica eluting with 75% ether and 25% hexane to afford 1.17 g (±)-E-4-hydroxy-4-(5-oxo-3-methylpent-3-en-1-ynyl)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone (58%), as an oil, that gave ir: 3600 (strong), 220 (weak), 1710, 1660, 900 cm-1; gc/eims: 248 (M+, 15%) 233 (9), 219 (19), 205 (16), 192 (42), 163 (95) and 121 (100); 1H nmr -∥: 0.99 and 1.20 (s, gem CH3, 6H), 1.14 (d, J=5.9 Hz, HCCH3, 3H), 2.11 (dd, J=14.3, 2.3 Hz, H-2 eq, 1H), 2.18 (m, H-6eq, 1H), 2.3 (m, 2H), 2.32 (d, J=1.5 Hz, =CCH3, 3H), 2.60 (d, J=14.3 Hz, H-2ax, 1H), 6.22 (dq, J=7.7, 1.5 Hz, =CH, 1H), and 10.03 (d, J=7.7 Hz, CHO, 1H).
