Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 65 parts of 4-oxo-1-[4-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]-1-cyclohexanecarbonitrile, 15.7 parts of 1,2-ethanediol, 0.2 parts of 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid and 360 parts of methylbenzene is stirred and refluxed overnight with water-separator. The reaction mixture is cooled, washed successively with water, with a sodium hydroxide solution 5% and again with water, dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue is crystallized from 2-propanol, yielding 33.5 parts (47%) of 8-[4-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]-1,4-dioxaspiro[4,5]decane-8-carbonitrile.
