Procedure
A solution of 340 mg of 2,5,11-trioxatricyclo[4,3,1,14,8 ] undecan-3-one of the formula Ia in 10 ml of absolute ethanol is treated at room temperature with 150 mg of sodium borohydride and the mixture is stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is diluted with 10 ml of water, the pH adjusted to 8 with a few drops of glacial acetic acid and the resulting solution is concentrated under reduced pressure to about 3 ml. The concentrate is extracted three times with altogether 100 ml of methylene chloride, the combined extracts are dried with sodium sulphate and the solvent is distilled off to give 3-hydroxymethyl-2,4-dioxabicyclo[3,3,1]nonan-7-ol of the formula IIa, which melts at 146°-149°C.
