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.
