Procedure

To a solution of dimethyl 5-oxocyclohexane-1,3-dicarboxylate (6.0 g, 28 mmol) in toluene (50 ml) was added ethylene glycol (3.73 g, 56.6 mmol) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (65 mg). The reaction was refluxed overnight, using a Dean-Stark trap to remove the excess water. The reaction was worked up by removing the toluene by rotary evaporation, adding brine (10 ml) and extracting with ethyl acetate (3×40 ml). The combined extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated by rotary evaporation to give the desired product as a thick colorless liquid (6.0 g, 82%).
