Reaction Steps

Per hour a solution of 4.5 g of dimethyl 1,1-cyclohexanedicarboxylate in 4.5 g of methanol was passed at 275° C. over 5 g of aluminum oxide. The exit mixture obtained over 6 hours (36.5 g) was distilled to yield 10.1 g of methyl cyclohexanecarboxylate (53%, based on diester used) and 7.7 g of the starting material.
