Abstract
The electrolysis of hydroquinone bis(2′‐hydroxyethyl)ether (3) in alkaline methanol gives 8‐[(2′‐hydroxy)ethoxy]‐8‐methoxy‐1, 4‐dioxa‐spiro[4.5]deca‐6, 9‐diene (4) which is converted to the title compound by treatment with traces of p‐toluenesulfonic acid in ether at 0° in 50% overall yield.Keywords
