A solution of 3.0 g (9.6 mmol) 2-(4-propyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-malonic acid diethyl ester and 0.3 g p-toluenesulfonic acid in 30 mL water was heated to reflux for 3 hr and allowed to stand at room temperature over 3 nights. The reaction was diluted with brine, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to afford 1.92 g (7.98 mmol) 3-oxo-3-(4-propyl-cyclohexyl)-propionic acid ethyl ester as a clear oil.
