35. We have prepared 7c by oxidation of 2-allylcyclohexa-none (5c) which is readily available from cyclohexa-none (see below). This approach to 7c has, to the best of our knowledge, not yet been reported. For a different synthesis of 7c, see for example: S. M. Allin, S. L. James, M. R. Elsegood, W. P. Martin, J. Org.
