Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 10 ml of gamma-butyrolactone and 40 ml of 1-decanol was added a crystal of p-toluenesulfonic acid. The reaction mixture was heated at 150° C. for 72 hours with stirring, cooled to room temperature, and then treated with 10 mg of sodium acetate. Flash chromatography (silica; 4:1 hexane:ethyl acetate eluent) afforded 5.6 g (17.7%) of 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, n-decyl ester as an oil.
