The solution was heated at 100° C. for 24 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was quenched with water (1000 mL). The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×400 mL). After drying the organic phases over MgSO4, filtering and concentrating in vacuo, the trans-3-benzyloxy-4-hydroxytetrahydrofuran was isolated by column chromatography to give 29 g (66% yield) of a clear colorless liquid.
