Abstract

The heterogeneously catalyzed ring‐opening reaction of 4,4,5,8‐tetramethyl‐1‐oxaspiro[2.5]octane (1) has been carried out in a fixed bed as well as in a batch reactor. In the presence of a silica catalyst yields up to 53% of the important fragrance intermediate 2,2,3,6‐tetramethylcyclohexane carbaldehyde (2) could be achieved.
