Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Using a procedure analogous to that employed in Example 1, 1.28 g of cyclohexyl formate, 2.70 g of water, and 0.5 g of sulfonated polytetrafluoroethylene were heated at 110° C. over a period of 2 h. Following homogenization of the liquid phase there were obtained, in addition to unconverted cyclohexyl formate, 75.8 mol % of cyclohexanol. The only by-product formed was cyclohexene in a concentration of 0.9 mol %.
