Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 25 was repeated, except that 4-methylcyclohexanone (2 mmol) and 4-methylcyclohexanol (20 mmol) were respectively used in stead of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol. As a result, γ-methyl-ε-caprolactone was formed in yield of 45.6% (on 4-methylcyclohexanone basis).
