Abstract:
1. A process for preparing a 1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane compound of formula (I): where A is —OH, —OR, Br, or Cl; and R is a silyl group, a hydrocarbyl group, or an acyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, the process comprising: (a) contacting ethylene with a (2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-diene compound of formula (II) at conditions effective to produce a 3,6-disubstituted cyclohex-1-ene compound of formula (III): where A is as defined above; and (b) contacting the 3,6-disubstituted cyclohex-1-ene compound of formula (III) with hydrogen at conditions effective to produce the 1,4-disubstituted cyclohexane compound of formula (I).
