To the slurry of zirconium tetrachloride (10.65 g, 45.7 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added sodium borohydride (4.3 g, 114.3 mmol) in small portions at room temperature. A solution of 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane (6.5 g, 45.7 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added dropwise and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was carefully quenched with 1N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried and concentrated to give a crude product, which was purified via silica gel chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (3:2) to give 2-(cyclohexyloxy)ethanol (3.9 g, 59.2% yield) as light yellow oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 3.68-3.70 (t, 2H), 3.53-3.56 (m, 2H), 3.27-3.29 (m, 1H), 2.54 (br, 1H), 1.89-1.93 (m, 2H), 1.70-1.73 (m, 2H), 1.51-1.54 (m, 1H), 1.17-1.28 (m, 5H).
