Procedure

A mixture of 5-(2-methylbenzyl)-2-furoic acid [prepared as described in (d) or (f) above; 26.2 g.] and cupric oxide (1 g.) was heated at 200° C. for 4 hours until evolution of carbon dioxide almost ceased. The residue was cooled and distilled to give 2-(5-methylbenzyl)furan (16.5 g.), b.p. 118° C./20 mm.Hg, in the form of a pale yellow coloured oil.
