The reaction mixture was concentrated to give the crude product. The crude product was washed with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (1:1) to give 2-(3-hydroxy-cyclohexyl)-isoindole-1,3-dione (240 g, 0.98 mol) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CD3OD, 400 MHz): δ ppm 7.82 (m, 4H), 4.16 (m, 1H), 3.63 (m, 1H), 2.13 (m, 2H), 1.98 (d, 2H), 1.89 (m, 1H),1.68 (t, 1H), 1.46 (m, 1H),1.31 (m, 1H).
