Procedure

158.3 g 2-propylheptanol (1 mol) and 144.2 g caprylic acid (1 mol) were heated for 5 h to 220° C. on a water separator together with 0.30 g Fascat® 2001 (Sn oxalate: 0.1% by weight, based on the composition as a whole). After the separation of water had stopped, the crude product was distilled in an oil pump vacuum through a 250 mm Vigreux column (T=92-94° C.). 282.4 g of a colorless oil were obtained: OHV=<1, AV=<0.1.
