Procedure

Using a procedure analogous to that employed in Example 1, 1.28 g of cyclohexyl formate, 1.8 g of water, and 0.5 g of a sulfonated polytetrafluoroethylene were heated at 110° C. over a period of 2 h. Following separation of the catalyst and homogenization with acetone there were obtained, in addition to unconverted cyclohexyl formate, 70.2 mol % of cyclohexanol, and the only by-product was 1.8 mol % of cyclohexene.
