Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-benzyloxy-2,6-dimethylphenyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione (0.57 g, 0.0018 mol) in ethyl acetate (30 ml) and methanol (530 ml) is added 5% palladium on carbon (0.100 g), and the suspension is then stirred under 4 bar hydrogen pressure for 5 hours. The suspension is filtered through diatomaceous earth and the filtrate evaporated under reduced pressure to afford 2-(4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylphenyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione as a grey solid.
