[CH3:1][C:2]1([CH3:14])[C:4]2([CH:8]=[CH:7][CH:6]=[CH:5]2)[CH:3]1[C:9]([O:11][CH2:12][CH3:13])=[O:10].[H][H]>C(O)C>[CH3:1][C:2]1([CH3:14])[C:4]2([CH2:8][CH2:7][CH2:6][CH2:5]2)[CH:3]1[C:9]([O:11][CH2:12][CH3:13])=[O:10]A solution of 1.54 g. of ethyl 2,2-dimethylspiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene-1 carboxylate prepared in Example I, above, in 30 ml. of ethanol was catalytically reduced over 50 mg. of pre-reduced platinum oxide. The theoretical amount of hydrogen was taken up over a 3 hr. period. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the alcohol was removed at reduced pressure. The residue, 1.5 g. (100%) could be used directly without further purification.
