Question

-. In the early days before the 1950s, synthesizing 2,6-dimethylcyclohexane (2) from 2-methylcyclohexanone (1) was difficult. Prof. Stork devised a clever way to get around such a problem. Please explain a) why the direct formation of 2 from 1 was not feasible in those days and b) what Prof. Stork's method was.
