Procedure
A mixture of 2-oxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-one (46.4 g., 0.3 mole) from Part C above in 1.5 liters of absolute ethanol was stirred under N2 atmosphere while sodium borohydride was added in 1-1.5-g. portions. When the addition was completed the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Then 1445 ml. of water was added and stirring was continued for 30 minutes. Ethanol was removed in vacuo and the aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform to give 43 g. (91%) of a mixture of two isomers by TLC analysis and NMR spectral analysis. H-NMR δ (ppm) 1.02-1.79 (10H, multiplet); 3.24-3.95 (5H, multiplet); mass spectrum m/e 156 (M+).
