Abstract
A process whereby trans-3-isocamphylcyclohexanol, which is useful as a perfume ingredient, can be produced on an industrially available scale, at a low cost and at a high stereoselectivity, is disclosed. The process comprises hydrogenating 3-isocamphylcyclohexanone represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## by using a ruthenium/phosphine complex as a catalyst in the presence of a base containing an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal and an amine.
