Reaction Steps

To a mixed solution of lithium aluminum hydride (3.36 g) in THF (215 mL) was added a solution of (2S,3S)-2,3-diphenyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (43.3 g) in THF (215 mL) at an internal temperature of 10° C. or lower over 30 minutes in a methanol-ice bath, followed by stirring at an internal temperature of 10° C. or lower for 1 hour and then stirring in an ice bath for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture were sequentially added water (8.6 mL), 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (8.6 mL), and water (27.5 mL) in an ice bath, followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solid was removed by filtration through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain [(2S,3S)-2,3-diphenyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl]methanol (38.4 g) as a pale peach pink oily substance.
