First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing (R)-1-(4-methylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl)ethanone, having the general formula (XIX): Comprising the steps of: (a) providing a compound having the general formula (VI): and (b) dehydrating said compound, to produce the compound of Formula (XIX). 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said dehydration is catalyzed by an acid. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said acid is a cationic resin. 4. The method of claim 2 , wherein said dehydration is performed continuously. 5. The method of claim 2 , wherein said dehydration is performed at an elevated temperature. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said temperature is between 80° C. and 140° C. 7. The method of claim 3 , wherein said acid is an Amberlyst-type cationic resin. 8.
