Steps:

8 Synthesis of Methyl 4-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate (1):

To a solution of 4-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (SM-1) (5 g, 35.1 mmol) in methanol (25 mL) was added thionyl chloride (5.1 mL, 70.3 mmol) at 0 °C under nitrogen atmosphere and then stirred for 16 h at room temperature. After consumption of the starting material (by TLC), volatiles were evaporated under reduced pressure. Crude mixture was diluted with EtOAc (20 mL) and washed with water (20 mL), saturated NaHCO₃ solution (20 mL) and brine solution (20 mL). Separated organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated to obtain compound 1 (4.5 g, 83%) as colorless liquid. (0383) 1H NMR: (400MHz, DMSO-d₆): δ 3.57 (s, 3H), 2.24-2.18 (tt, J = 3.6, 12.2 Hz, 1H), 1.89-1.81 (m, 2H), 1.72-1.64 (m, 2H), 1.38-1.24 (m, 3H), 0.98-0.88 (m, 2H), 0.85 (d, J = 6.5 Hz, 3H). LCMS (m/z): 157.12 [M⁺+1]
