Procedure
About 1.69 g. (0.015 mole) octene-1 and 8.1 g. (0.03 mole) manganic acetate were added to 73 ml. glacial acetic acid and the mixture sealed in a tube. No potassium acetate was used. The tube was placed in an oil bath maintained at 138° C., and after 4 hours the characteristic dark brown color due to manganic ion disappeared. The reaction was stopped and the reaction mixture worked up by extracting with ether and water. Gamma-n-hexyl-butyrolactone was obtained in a yield of 2.0 g., comprising 78% of theory.
