The resulting mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 12 hours. Reaction progress was monitored by TLC (TLC eluent: 30% EtOAc in hexane). The reaction mixture was cooled and toluene was removed under reduced pressure. The product thus obtained was purified by column chromatography using silica gel and eluting with 10% EtOAc in hexane to afford 4-phenyl-1-oxa-3-azaspiro[4.4]nonan-2-one (2 g, 31%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 8.06 (s, 1H), 7.28-7.41 (m, 5H), 4.78 (s, 1H), 1.88-2.03 (m, 2H), 1.23-1.70 (m, 5H), 0.97-1.03 (m, 1H). m/z (ESI) 218.3 (M+H)+.
