How is cis-4-Methylcyclohexanol (CAS: 7731-28-4) typically synthesized?

cis-4-Methylcyclohexanol can be synthesized via reduction of 4-methylcyclohexanone using hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst like palladium on carbon. Another method involves the Wittig olefination of methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide with propargyl alcohol, followed by hydrogenation. High selectivity and good yields are typically achieved.
