Methanol → HCID 20540214, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred and heated (±65° C.) mixture of 60 parts of sodium amide solution 50% in dimethylbenzene and 315 parts of methylbenzene are added portionwise 33.5 parts of 8-[4-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]-1,4-dioxaspiro[4,5]decane-8-carbonitrile. Upon completion, stirring is continued for 24 hours at reflux. The reaction mixture is cooled, about 16 parts of methanol are added dropwise and the whole is poured onto ice-water. The product is extracted with trichloromethane. The extract is dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 27 parts (87%) of 8-[4-(phenylmethoxy)phenyl]-1,4-dioxaspiro[4,5]decane as a residue.
