Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus as in Example 1, α-n-hexylfurfuryl alcohol (30 parts) and water (1500 parts) were charged, and the resultant mixture was stirred at 100° C., during which the pH was maintained at 4.6 to 5.0 until the starting compound was consumed. The reaction mixture was treated as in Example 1, followed by purification with chromatography to give 2-n-hexyl-3-hydroxy-4-cyclopentenone in a yield of 65 %.
