Conditions: temp:25.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: In 200 ml of 99.5% ethanol, was dissolved 24.2 g (0.10 mol) of isobutyl 4-oxodecanoate. Thereto was added 4.2 g (0.11 mol) of sodium borohydride in small quantities, and then the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at 25° C. The solution was poured into 1 L of water, and 1 L of ethyl acetate was further added thereto followed by stirring to thereby extract the product into the ethyl acetate phase. Ethyl acetate was distilled off followed by vacuum distillation, yielding γ-decalactone (a compound in which R61 represents an n-pentyl group in the above formula (39)). Gas chromatographic analysis showed that the yield of γ-decalactone relative to isobutyl 4-oxodecanoate was 93%. In the resulting γ-decalactone, a plastic-like flavor or acid taste was not observed at all, but it had a good peach-like aroma. was further added by stirring to thereby extract the product into the ethyl acetate phase Ethyl acetate was distilled off followed by vacuum distillation

Procedure: To the resulting isobutyl 4-oxodecanoate were added 1 L of methanol and 250 g of 25% sodium hydroxide, and the mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 1 hour, followed by distilling off methanol in vacuo. Subsequently, thereto were added 2 L of water and 1 L of toluene. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then allowed to stand to separate the water phase. To the water phase were added 175 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 1.8 L of toluene. The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and then allowed to stand to separate the organic phase. Toluene in the organic phase was distilled off in vacuo and 1 L of toluene and 47.5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid were added. The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour and then cooled to 25° C. Thereto was gradually added 155 g of sodium hydrogencarbonate followed by stirring for 10 minutes at 25° C. Methanol was distilled off in vacuo and then 3 L of water and 1.8 L of toluene were added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at room temperature and then allowed to stand to separate the organic phase. Toluene in the organic phase was distilled off, yielding methyl 4-oxodecanoate (a compound in which R17 represents an n-pentyl group, and R18 represents a methyl group in the above formula (12)). Gas chromatographic analysis showed that the yield of methyl 4-oxodecanoate relative to isobutyl 4-oxodecanoate was 95%. by distilling off methanol in vacuo Subsequently, thereto were added 2 L of water and 1 L of toluene The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour to separate the water phase To the water phase were added 175 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 1.8 L of toluene The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes to separate the organic phase Toluene in the organic phase was distilled off in vacuo and 1 L of toluene and 47.5 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid were added The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour cooled to 25° C by stirring for 10 minutes at 25° C Methanol was distilled off in vacuo 3 L of water and 1.8 L of toluene were added The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at room temperature to separate the organic phase Toluene in the organic phase was distilled off
