Participants

Reaction Steps

The starting material 5-cycloheptylpentan-1-ol is obtained as follows: cycloheptylpropylmalonic acid ethyl ester is heated to 180° C. for one hour. The resulting 5-cycloheptylvaleric acid ethyl ester [bp 80°-82° C. at 0.008 mm Hg (1.0 Pa)] is reduced with lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran to yield 5-cycloheptylpentan-1-ol [bp 92°-94° C. at 0.008 mm Hg (1.0 Pa)].
