The reaction mixture was refluxed until methanol ceased collecting in the receiving flask and the completion of the reaction was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The still pot from the distillation was diluted with toluene (60 mL) and washed with brine (3×60 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The solvent was removed in vacuo. The excess methyl 3,4-epoxycyclohexane carboxylate was removed via Kugelrohr distillation under reduced vacuum to give 33.39 g (90%) of a clear, colorless oil of nonyl-3,4-epoxycylohexanecarboxylate 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ): 4.06 (td, J=6.7, 1.9 Hz, 2H), 3.25-3.10 (m, 2H), 2.55-2.42 (m, 1H), 2.31-1.27 (m, 20H), 0.88 (t, J=6.7 Hz, 3H).
