Triethylamine → 2,7-Dioxaspiro[3.5]nonan-1-one

Temperature

0 °C

Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (11.1 mL, 66.2 mmol), followed by triethylamine (17.8 mL, 127.4 mmol) was added to a slurry of 4-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydropyran-4-carboxylic acid (10.20 g, 63.68 mmol) in anhydrous diethyl ether cooled to 0° C. (115 mL). The biphasic solution was stirred for 20 hours, warmed to room temperature, stirred an additional 2 hours. The layers were separated by decantation, and the lower layer diluted with 2% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (50 mL) and extracted with methylene chloride (4×200 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with additional 2% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (100 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2,7-dioxaspiro[3.5]nonane-1-one as a pale yellow oil (10.8 g).
