Procedure
A mixture of 8-Ethoxy-1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]decane (Compound 166F, 2 gm, 10.7 mmol) and pyridinium p-toluene sulfonate (5.4 gm, 21.5 mmol) was taken up in a 1:1 mixture of acetone and water (150 mL) and stirred at 50° C. overnight. The acetone was subsequently removed under reduced pressure and the aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried (Na2SO4), and evaporated to give the crude material which was used in the next step without further purification. Yield: 0.8 gm (53%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ 1.24 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 1.95 (m, 2H), 2.05 (m, 2H), 2.24 (m, 2H), 2.6 (m, 2H), 3.6 (q, J=7.1 Hz 2H), 3.7 (m, 1H).
