The solution is stirred for 2 hours at -60° to -70°C. To the suspension is then added a solution of 5 g. of 4-oxo-tetrahydropyran in 5 ml. of tetrahydrofuran over a span of a few minutes. The mixture is stirred at -60°C. for 3 hours and at ambient temperature overnight. Ice-water is added, the organic layer is separated, the aqueous layer is extracted with methylene chloride and the combined organic solutions are dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and subjected to column chromatography over alumina. Elution with benzene removes benzhydryl methyl ether, and the column is then eluted with diethyl ether. The solid obtained is heated at reflux in 60 ml. of glacial acetic acid, and then the solvent is removed under reduced pressure to leave a crystalline solid. This solid is recrystallized from hexane to give 1,2',3,3',5',6'-hexahydro-3-phenylspiro[isobenzofuran-1,4'-pyran] as colorless crystals, m.p. 132° - 134°C.
