2,2-Dimethyl-3-trimethylsilanyloxy-propionic acid methyl ester (478 mg, 2.34 mmol) was added to a solution of dihydro-furan-3-one (168 mg, 1.95 mmol) and FeCl3 (16 mg, 0.097 mmol) in nitromethane (6.0 mL) at 0° C. Triethylsilane (0.374 mL, 2.33 mmol) was added and the reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. Sat. NaHCO3 was added and the reaction was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give a pale liquid. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel using 30% ethyl acetate in hexanes provided dimethyl-3-(tetrahydro-furan-3-yloxy)-propionic acid methyl ester (353 mg, 75%) as a colorless liquid.
