Reaktionsschritte

A solution of tetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid (540 mg, 4.65 mmol, 1.00 equiv) and TsOH (10 mg, 0.06 mmol, 0.01 equiv) in methanol (40 mL) was stiffed at 66° C. in an oil bath. After 16 h, the resulting mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 10 mL of ether, washed with 1×20 mL of NaHCO3 (aq., sat.) followed by 3×20 mL of brine, and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 0.40 g (66%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
