Procedure

A 100 ml round-bottom flask equipped with a Dean-Stark distillation setup and condenser was charged with 6-oxaspiro[4.5]decan-9-one (6 g, 39 mmol, which was prepared according to Hanschke, E. Chem. Ber. 1955, 88, 1053), methyl cyanoacetate (4.1 ml, 46.7 mmol), ammonium acetate (780 mg, 10.1 mmol), acetic acid (0.44 ml, 7.8 mmol) and benzene (40 ml). The mixture was refluxed until no more water collected in the Dean-Stark (2 hours), cooled, benzene (30 ml) added and the organic washed with water (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×50 ml). The combined organic phase was washed with sat. NaHCO3 (100 ml), brine (100 ml) dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. Purified by normal phase SiO2 chromatography (7% to 60% EtOAc/hexanes) to give methyl 2-cyano-2-[(9Z)-6-oxaspiro[4.5]decan-9-ylidene]acetate as a colorless oil (8.93 g, 97.5%, m/z 235.1 [M+H]+ observed).
