A mixture of 3-(1-chlorotridecyl)-5-trimethylsilylfuran, methyl mercaptan and potassium methoxide in tetrahydrofuran is stirred at room temperature to give 3-(1-methylthiotridecyl)-5-trimethylsilylfuran. Oxidizing using Rose Bengal by the procedure of Example 1 gives 4-(1-methylthiotridecyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone.
