2-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)acetonitrile

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The above nitrile (2.15 g) is treated with platinum oxide (0.1 g) in ethanol (200 ml) and hydrogenated at 3 atmospheres pressure over 4 hours. Removal of the catalyst and concentration of the solvent gives 8-cyanomethyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane as an oil. Removal of the catalyst and concentration of the solvent
