Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,2,6-trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one (53)70 (74 g, 0.5 mol) and 2-propanol (30 g, 0.5 mol) was heated at 135° C. for 20 h. The acetone formed during the reaction was removed with a rotary evaporator. The residue was distilled to provide 65 g (0.451 mol, 90%) of 54 as a clear, colorless liquid: bp 185°-187° C.
