6,6-Dichloro-2-(5-methoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-7-one {1,1-dichlorohexahydro-4-(5-methoxyheptyl)-2(1H)-pentalenone} (45.9 g) is added to a 100 ml, round-bottomed flask fitted with a condenser. Powdered zinc metal (92 g) and glacial acetic acid (312 ml) are added to the flask and the solution allowed to reflux for an hour. The solution is filtered to remove the zinc and zinc chloride, formed in the reaction. The product is washed with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted three times with ether. The ether extracts are combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The resulting yellow oil is chromatographed on silica gel and eluted with 4:1 hexane:ether. The fractions are combined, and gave 2-(5-methoxyhept-1-yl)bicyclo [3.3.0]octan-7-one {hexahydro-4-(5-methoxyheptyl)-2(1H)-pentalenone} as a clear, colorless oil.
