Versuchsvorschrift
A suspension of the 3-tert-butyl-6-hydroxyhexanoic acid (1 g, 4.95 mmol), anhydrous NaOAc (0.321 g, 3.91 mmol) and acetic anhydride was refluxed for 5 hours during which time the solution mixture turned black. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, the formed acetic acid and remaining acetic anhydride were removed on a rotary evaporator and then under high vacuum. The residue was then dissolved in ethyl acetate, filtered through a plug of celite to remove the precipitate NaOAc, and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product of 3-tert-butylcyclopentanone (0.557 g, 58%).
