Abstract

The invention relates to a novel process for producing compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is for example phenyl, and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are for example cyclohexyl. With application of the phase-transfer catalysis method, a corresponding compound of the formula II ##STR2## is reacted, in the presence of water, with hydroxide ions, especially with alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline-earth metal hydroxide.
