(2S)-2-(3-Oxo-1,4-dioxaspiro-[4.5]decan-2-yl)ethanoic acid.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(10)H(14)O(5), is an inter-mediate in our study of the asymmetric synthesis of α-hydroxy-alkanoic acids. The structure consists of 1,4-dioxaspiro[4,5]decane skeleton formed when the cyclohexylidene group binds to both of the hydroxyl groups of carboxylic groups of the starting malic acid. The six-membered ring adopts a chair conformation.
