To this solution, under cooling, were added 5 ml of ethylacetate and then 10 ml of 2N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to terminate the reaction. After undissolved products were separated, the solvent was distilled off under a reduced pressure and the residue thus obtained was recrystallized from 15 ml of hexane to obtain 5.0 g (yield 95%) of 4-(4-pentylcyclohexyl)-(2-hydroxybutyloxy)cyclohexane.
