Procedure

A round bottom flask was charged with ethyl 8-ethyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane-7-carboxylate (0.32 g, 1.4 mmol) and aqueous 1 N sodium hydroxide (14.0 mL, 14.0 mmol). The solution was stirred overnight at rt. To the solution was added DCM (30 mL) followed by the addition of 20% aqueous citric acid (about 20 mL) to reach pH of about 2. The layers were separated and the aqueous solution was extracted with DCM (2×30 mL) and DCM/EtOAc (1:1, 30 mL). The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concd under reduced pressure to give 8-ethyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane-7-carboxylic acid as a clear, colorless oil (0.27 g, 96%): LC/MS (Table 1, Method c) Rt=1.20 min; MS m/z: 201 (M+H)+.
