Reaction Steps

2-Cyclopentenyl acetate (0.30 g) and n-butanol (0.40 g) were mixed and stirred vigorously at 40° C. for 4 hours with a solution of 0.020 g of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate in 0.25 g of water. At the end of the reaction period acetone was added to give a single phase, and the solution was analyzed by gas chromatography using an Apiezon column programmed at 60°-220° C. Peaks for the cyclic compounds had the following relative areas.
