Reaction Steps

6-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-cyclopent-3-enyl)-1-oxa-spiro[2.5]oct-5-ene (XIV, 2.72 g, 12.5 mmol,), dissolved in toluene (5 ml), are added dropwise to a solution of BF3.OEt2 (1.7 ml) in toluene (20 ml). After 2 hours, the reaction solution is poured onto ice (10 ml), then the phases are separated and the organic phase is washed once with saturated NaCl solution. The organic phase is then dried over Na2SO4, filtered off and concentrated in a rotary evaporator. 2.07 g of crude product having a purity of 83% are obtained, which is used in the next step without being purified further.
