Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The hydrogenation of dimedon gave 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol in 94% yield, which has a cis-configuration, while the hydrogenation of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione gave 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol, which has a trans-configuration.

  2. 2.

    The dehydration of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol under the influence of phthalic anhydride is a convenient method for the synthesis of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene.
