Disclosed is a process for the preparation of cycloalkanol (or cycloalkenol) derivatives of formula (I) wherein: R6 and R7 are independently selected from H, OH, alkyl, alkoxy, C7-C9 aralkoxy, C2-C7 alkanoyloxy, C1-C6 alkylmercapto, halo or trifluoromethyl; R8 is H or alkyl; p is one of the integers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; and R9 is H or alkyl. The process involves the reaction of a compound of formula (II) with a compound of formula (III), in the presence of a non-organometallic base catalyst as defined.
