Conditions: temp:60.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: At 0° C., a solution of 2-acetyl-4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexanone (5.00 g, 29.7 mmol) in chloroform (15 mL) is treated with oxalyl chloride (7.54 g, 59.4 mmol). The mixture is heated to 60° C. and stirred for 15 min before it is poured onto water. The organic phase is separated, washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution and brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to dryness to give crude 2-(1-chloro-ethylidene)-4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexanone (3.2 g, containing regio-isomer) as a brown oil, LC-MS: tR=1.00 min. is poured onto water The organic phase is separated washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution and brine dried over MgSO4 evaporated to dryness

Conditions: temp:60.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a suspension of NaH (2.88 g, 60% dispersion in mineral oil, 60 mmol) in toluene (25 mL), EA (6.5 mL, 66 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred at rt for 5 min before a solution of 4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexanone (2.52 g, 20 mmol) in EA (6 mL) is added. The mixture is heated to 55° C. where a vigorous reaction starts. The white to grey suspension turns orange and becomes clear. The clear solution is poured onto ice/water and is extracted with EA. The aq. phase is acidified to pH 4-5 and extracted once more with EA. The combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent is removed in vacuo to give 2-acetyl-4,4-dimethyl-cyclohexanone (2.00 g) as a yellow oil; 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 2.35 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.12 (s, 2H), 2.10 (s, 1H), 1.48 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 0.98 (s, 6H). is added is added a vigorous reaction The clear solution is poured onto ice/water is extracted with EA extracted once more with EA The combined organic extracts are dried over Na2SO4 the solvent is removed in vacuo
