Procedure

A solution of 116.5 grams of 3,5,5-Trimethylhexanoylbenzene in 1500 mL of tetrahydrofuran with 9.9 grams of 10% palladium on carbon (as a catalyst) was stirred at 23° C. in an atmosphere of hydrogen at 275 kPa for 17 hours. The mixture was filtered through Celite™ diatomaceous earth filter agent to remove the catalyst. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 3,5,5-trimethylhexylbenzene.
