Reaction Steps
A suspension of 800 mg (8.0 mmol) of δ-valerolactone in 8 mL (8.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) of 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide was heated at 65° C. overnight. The clear solution was cooled and concentrated. Toluene was added and the resultant slurry was concentrated to give a white solid: IR (nujol mull) 1550 cm-1.
