4-Methyl-dihydro-furan-2-one (4 g, 39.95 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (10 ml) and the solution was cooled to −10° C. Thionyl chloride (3.6 ml, 49.9 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at −10° C. for 2 hrs and hereafter for 16 hrs at room temperature. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give crude 4-Chloro-3-methyl-butyric acid methyl ester (4 g, 87%) which was used in the next step without further purification.
