Procedure

To a mixture of lithium aluminum hydride (50.5 g, 1.06 mol) in THF (800 mL) is carefully added crude 1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (220 g) in THF (700 mL) at 0° C. over 2.5 hours under argon atmosphere. After stirring 1 hour at ambient temperature, Na2SO4-10H2O (175 g) is added at 0° C., and the mixture is stirred for additional 10 min. Insoluble matter is filtered, and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to afford crude (1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)methanol as a colorless oil, which is used without further purification.
