Reaction Steps

23.7 g (150 mmole) 1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]decan-8-ol were dissolved in 120 ml absolute dimethylformamide under a nitrogen atmosphere. After adding 7.9 g of 50% sodium hydride in mineral oil (165 mmole), the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 20° C. After adding 14.3 ml allyl bromide (165 mmole), the mixture was heated to 70° C. and stirred for 1 hour. Thereafter it was treated with 160 ml water and was extracted at 10° C.-15° C., three times with ether, once with water and once with saturated sodium chloride solution. After removing the solvent by distillation, 24 g of crude product (81% theoretical) were obtained.
