Procedure
513 g of 2-n-pentyl-3-(1-carbethoxy-2-oxopropyl)-1-cyclopentanone were mixed in an autoclave with an equal weight of water. The autoclave was then purged of the air which it contained, closed and heated up to a temperature of 140°-150° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, extraction, washing and distillation, there was obtained 332 g of 2-n-pentyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)-1-cyclopentanone (yield=90.6%) having nD20 =1.432 and d420 =0.961.
