Procedure

To a solution of ethyl 4-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate (31.8 g) in toluene (100 mL) was added ethylene glycol (36.5 mL) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.426 g). The two phase mixture was stirred rapidly at ambient temperature for 72 hours. The reaction was diluted with water (900 mL) and extracted with ether (900 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the title compound was obtained by concentration under high vacuum.
