I am facing trouble with the following problem.
Is (R)-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane chiral?
My idea is that the compound possess a plane of symmetry and thus should be achiral. However if we take its mirror image then the bond pointing below of the plane will become above the plane and thus it will not form a nonsuperimposable mirror image indicating that it is chiral. Certainly one of the approach is incorrect. I couldn't understand which one.
Axial or planar chirality in spiro[3.3]hepta-1,5-diene
