Isopropanol → Ethyl 2-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Second Step: 267.3 g of the compound (11), 5.0 g of Pd/C, 500 mL of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and 500 mL of toluene were added to a reactor, and stirred under hydrogen atmosphere for 24 hours. After confirming that the reaction had been completed by GC analysis, the Pd/C was filtered off, and the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain a residue. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using heptane as eluent, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 255.2 g of (1,4-dioxaspiro[4,5]dec-8-yl)acetic acid ethyl ester (12) as a colorless liquid.
