The mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature, then partitioned between saturated sodium bicarbonate and dichloromethane, and the organic layer was dried and evaporated to give isobutyl 1-methyl-4-(2-methoxyethoxy)cyclohexanecarboxylate (27 g, 49.6 mmol, 83% yield) as a cis/trans mixture containing one equivalent of t-butyldimethyl triethyl siloxane.
