Procedure

A mixture of 2-isopropenyl-1-vinylcyclohexan-1-ol (0.166 g, 10-3 mol) and mercuric trifluoroacetate (0.423 g) in methylene chloride (10 cc) is kept at a temperature of the order of 20° C. After a reaction time of 5 minutes, a solution of sodium borohydride (0.010 g) in 3 N sodium hydroxide solution (0.66 cc) is added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is extracted with methylene chloride (3×10 cc). The organic extracts are dried over magnesium sulphate. After filtration and concentration of the solvent under reduced pressure (20 mm Hg; 2.7 kPa), 5-methylcyclodec-5-en-1-one (0.024 g) is obtained, the characteristics of which are as follows: Infra-red spectrum of a liquid film: characteristic bands at 2980 and 1710 cm-1 ;
