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

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of lithium aluminum hydride (42.5 g, 1.12 mol) in THF (1200 mL) is carefully added crude 8-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane (174.7 g) in THF solution (640 mL) at 0° C. under argon atmosphere. After stirring for 10 min at ambient temperature, Na2SO4-10H2O (360.9 g) is added at 0° C., and the mixture is stirred for additional 3 hours. Insoluble matter is filtered and washed with EtOAc, and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to afford crude 2-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)ethanol (139.5 g). The crude product is used without further purification.
