Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(5,6-dihydro-3-methyl-1,4-dioxin-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone (12 g, 0.06 mole) and powdered potassium hydroxide (6 g, 0.1 mole) was refluxed in toluene (200 ml) for 7 hours. The mixture was cooled, acidified with 6N hydrochloric acid, and the solid precipitate, crude 5,6-dihydro-3-methyl-1,4-dioxin-2-carboxylic acid (6 g, 60% yield) collected.
