Phenol → 8-Phenoxy-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-ol (1.05 g, 6.63 mmol), phenol (0.75 g, 7.95 mmol), triphenylphosphine (1.91 g, 7.29 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) was added disopropyl azodicarboxylate (1.57 mL, 7.95 mmol). After being stirred overnight at room temperature under N2, the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was flash chromatographed using 10:90 hexane-EtOAc to give 1.09 g of 8-phenoxy-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. MS (EI) calcd: (M+H)+=235.1; found: 235.0.
