Procedure

In a 100 ml-volume three-way-cocked eggplant type flask whose atmosphere had been displaced with nitrogen was charged 230 mg (0.14 mmole) of Ru2Cl4 ((+)-BINAP)2 (NEt3), and 5 g (32 mmole) of 2-pentylidenecyclopentanone and 50 ml of methanol were added thereto to form a solution. The solution was put in a 100 ml autoclave having been displaced with nitrogen and stirred at 50° C. under a hydrogen pressure of 90 kg/cm2 for 110 hours to conduct a hydrogenation reaction. The solvent was removed from the reaction mixture by distillation, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a mixed solvent of diethyl ether and hexane (1:4 by volume) as an eluent to obtain 4.6 g (percent yield: 92%) of 2-pentylcyclopentanone.
