Abstract
Reduction of methylcyclohexanones by sodium dithionite in benzene–water using Adogen as the phase transfer agent affords good yields of isomeric mixtures of the corresponding methylcyclohexanols with stereoselectivities comparable to those exhibited by conventional hydride reagents.Keywords
