ABSTRACT:
A convenient process for the preparation of .gamma.-alkyl-substituted-.gamma.-butyrolactones and .delta.-valerolactones is provided. The process involves forming the .alpha.-alkylidene lactone by reacting essentially equimolar amounts of an .alpha.-acyl lactone, an aldehyde, and an alkali metal hydroxide in an inert diluent at an elevated temperature while removing water and hydrogenating the .alpha.-alkylidene lactone to obtain the corresponding .alpha.-alkyl lactone.
