The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 5 with sodium hydrogen carbonate with stirring under ice cooling, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained by azeotropic distillation with the addition of toluene was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate 4:1) to give 5.57 g of benzyl 2-(4-oxocyclohexyl)acetate as oil (yield: 86%).
