Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)acetate from Step 1 (3.31 g, 14.5 mmol) in Et2O (80 mL) at 0° C. under N2 was added LiAlH4 (1M in THF, 13.66 mL, 13.66 mmol) in 15 min. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for another 20 min and quenched by addition of saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution, extracted with EtOAc, dried over Na2SO4. Filtration and evaporation to dryness gave the alcohol as white solid (2.76 g, 100%). LC/MC: 187.1 (MH)+.
