580.8 g (5 mol) of caproic acid, 613.1 g (6 mol) of 2-ethylbutanol and 0.34 g of tin oxalate (“Fascat 2001”) were heated to 160° C. under N2, during which water separation was observed. Once water separation had subsided, the mixture was heated to 210° C. in 10° C. steps. This temperature was then held for 3 h. Then, firstly the excess alcohol was removed by distillation and then the product was distilled at 13-31 mbar and 114-124° C. The product (879.9 g) was obtained as a clear liquid with an acid number of 0.26 and an OH number of 2.17.
