Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(Ethoxymethyl)cyclohexanone

(1,4-Dioxa-spiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-methanol (from Example 33, 765 mg, 4.44 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) at 0° C. was treated with NaH (Aldrich, 60% in mineral oil, 355 mg, 8.88 mmol) followed by EtI (Aldrich, 0.7 mL, 8.88 mmol). The resulting solution was slowly warmed to room temperature for 2 hours and heated at 60° C. for additional 30 min. The solution was then partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated NH4Cl. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude material, which was treated with 1N HCl (2 mL) and acetone (6 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, purified by silica gel column (hexanes:ethyl acetate 5:1) to afford the title compound as colorless solid.
