A process for preparing cyclooctene-4-ol-1 with a content in excess of 70% by reacting cyclooctadiene-1,5 with formic acid and then saponifying or transesterifying the cyclooctenyl formate with an alcohol of low boiling point. In the absence of a catalyst, formic acid is reacted with cyclooctadiene-1,5 at 50 DEG to 200 DEG C., preferably 95 DEG to 105 DEG C. The reaction product without further processing is directly distilled, and the formic acid ester so obtained is transesterified with an alcohol of low boiling point into the formate of that alcohol and into cyclooctene-4-ol-1. |
