Procedure

Using the same general hydrogenation procedure described in Example I, 3-heptylidene-5-methyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone (10 g; 0.051 mole) was combined with 0.5 g 5% palladium on carbon catalyst and 10 ml ethanol. Hydrogen gas was bubbled into the mixture over a 12 hour period with stirring. After removal of the catalyst and evaporation of the solvent, 9.95 g (96% assay by GLC; 95% yield) cis-3-heptyl-5-methyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone was recovered. The proton nuclear resonance spectrum for the product was as follows:
