The present inventions are (A) a solvent comprising at least one cycloalkyl alkyl ether (1) represented by the general formula: R1-O--R2 (wherein R1 is cyclopentyl or the like; and R2 is C1-10 alkyl or the like); (B) a method of preparations the ethers (1) characterized by reacting an alicyclic olefin with an alcohol in the presence of an acid ion-exchange resin having a water content of 5 wt % or less. The solvent is useful as cleaning solvent for electronic components, precision machinery components or the like, reaction solvent using various chemical reactions, extraction solvent for extracting objective organic substances, solvent or remover for electronic and electrical materials, and so on. The process enables industrially advantageous production of the objective cycloalkyl alkyl ethers (1).
