Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus as in Example 1, 5-methyl-α-methyl-furfuryl alcohol (35 parts), water (1050 parts) and sodium acetate (0.07 part) were charged, and the resultant mixture was stirred at 100° C. in a nitrogen stream while maintaining the pH at 5.0 to 5.7 until the starting compound was consumed. The reaction mixture was treated as in Example 1 to give 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-cyclopentenone in a yield of 78 %.
