1,6-Dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane-2,7-dione or spirodilactone is a spiro compound derived from the dicarboxylic acid 4,4-dihydroxypimelic acid, formed through double internal esterification into a symmetrical lactone. The short name spirodilactone is also occasionally used for the anellation Spiro[2-benzofuran-3,5'-oxolane]-1,2'-dione. The exceptionally straightforward synthesis of 1,6-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane-2,7-dione from the platform chemical succinic acid offers promising prospects for future applications of this compound. The dilactone already serves as a starting material for heterocyclic pyrrolizidine, for the polyol 3-hydroxymethyl-1,3,6-hexanetriol, for esters of γ-ketopimelic acid, and as a dicarboxylic acid derivative for functional polymers such as polyethers and polyamides.
