Procedure

To 1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (5.7 g, 26.6 mmol) in THF (15 mL) at 0° C. was treated with LAH (1N in THF, 32 mL, 32 mmol) dropwise for 30 min. The reaction was then slowly warmed to room temperature and quenched with MeOH (˜0.5 mL) and filtered through a pad of Celite to give (1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-methanol, which was then treated with 1N HCl (5 mL) in acetone (10 mL) at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was removed and the solution was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated NaHCO3. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude material, which was purified by silica gel column (hexanes:ethyl acetate 4:1) to afford the title compound as colorless solid.
