A solution of 2-carboethoxy-cyclooctanone (92.2 g, 0.5 mole) in toluene (1.6 l) is treated with sodium iodide (1 g) and 60% sodium hydride in mineral oil (23.3 g, 0.58 mole). The mixture is heated at 110° C. The mixture is treated with ethyl α-bromoacetate (98.0 g, 0.58 mole) dropwise and the mixture is warmed to 65° C. for 18 hours. The mixture is cooled and water (500 ml) was added. The layers are separated and the aqueous is extracted with toluene (2×1 l). The extracts are dried (MgSO4) and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated at reduced pressure and distilled to yield pure 2-carboethoxy-2-carboethoxymethylcyclooctanone with a bp of 193°-195° C. at 16 mm.
