Procedure

4-Oxo-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (52.8 g, 0.31 mol, Merck, order no. 814249, ethylene glycol (67.4 g, 1.08 mol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.7 g) in toluene (160 ml) were stirred at RT for 20 h, the reaction solution was poured into diethyl ether (300 ml) and the mixture was washed with water, sodium bicarbonate solution and sodium chloride solution. The solution was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated i. vac. and the colourless liquid which remained was processed further without purification.
