To a mixture at room temperature containing 196.32 grams (2 mol) of cyclohexanone, 390.4 grams (2.06 mol) of triisopropyl orthoformate and 12.00 grams of isopropanol (0.2 mol), was added 7.6 grams (0.055 mol) of sodium hydrogensulfate monohydrate. The reaction was exothermic and upon addition of the catalyst, the temperature of the reaction mixture rose to 35° C., and was heated and maintained at 60° C. for 1 hour. The progress of the reaction was monitored by GC until the cyclohexanone content dropped to less than 2%. The isopropanol and isopropyl formate were distilled off under reduced pressure until the reaction mixture's temperature reached a maximum of 100° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered to remove sodium hydrogensulfate monohydrate (recovered). The pH value of the filtrate was adjusted to about 7˜8 by adding 0.8 gram of potassium iso-propoxide. The mixture was then heated under reduced pressure to remove unreacted cyclohexanone. The product, 1-isopropoxy-1-cyclohexene was isolated by distillation as a clear liquid; the yield was 81.7% with a purity exceeding 98%.
