Example I was repeated using propionaldehyde diethyl acetal as the azeotroping solvent for the reaction. For the reaction 100 ml propionaldehyde diethyl acetal was charged to the reactor with 14.9 g (0.10 mole) 3-acetyl-5-methyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone. The mixture was stirred and 4 g (0.10 mole) powdered sodium hydroxide added. The mixture was allowed to stir for 10 minutes and then heated to reflux for 51/2 hours after which time 14.0 g (0.125 mole) cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde was added over a one-hour period. The mixture was heated under reflux for an additional twelve hours, cooled and worked up to recover 19 g crude 3-cyclohexylmethylene-5-methyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone (59% yield). The structure of the product was confirmed by proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
