The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was acidified by the addition of 1 M HCl (50 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed once with brine. The organic phase was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give 3,3-ethylenedioxydodecanoic acid (0.824 g, 3.19 mmol) in 81% yield. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.88 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H), 1.20-1.44 (m, 14H), 1.72-1.80 (m, 2H), 2.72 (s, 2H), 3.98-4.10 (m, 4H); 13C NMR (125 MHz, CDCl3) δ 13.9, 22.5, 23.3, 29.13, 29.35, 29.39, 29.50, 31.7, 37.5, 42.2, 64.9 (2 C), 109.2, 174.8.
