5-(2-Pyridyl)-4-pentyn-1-ol, prepared as in Example 41, is reduced by hydrogenating using rhodium on carbon as catalyst to give 5-(2-piperidyl)-pentan-1-ol. Treating that intermediate with methyl iodide and sodium hydride gives the N-methyl compound. Brominating, reacting the bromo compound with t-butyl lithium and 5-trimethylsilyl-3-furaldehyde, then oxidizing by the procedure of Example 41 gives 4-[1-acetoxy-6-(N-methylpiperidyl)hexyl]-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone.
