The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then the mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give methyl 4-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylcyclohexanecarboxylate. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 3.89-3.84 (m, 1H), 3.65 (s, 3H), 2.21 (s, 1H), 1.79-1.73 (m, 1H), 1.70-1.68 (m, 3H), 1.49-1.35 (m, 2H), 1.06 (s, 6H).
