80 °C

Into a 500 ml round bottom flask 50 g of methyl 2-cyclohexylpropionate and 70 g of 25% sodium hydroxide were charged. The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 8 hours. To the reaction mixture 120 g of 20% sulfuric acid was gradually added under ice-cooling to separate a carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid was extracted with hexane. The mixture obtained was distilled to obtain 42.3 g of 2-cyclohexylpropionic acid having a civet- and animal-like odor (yield: 92%, purity: 99.9%).
