The resulting solution is stirred at −75° C. for 40 minutes and to this mixture, a solution of 3-tetrahydrofurancarboxaldehyde (0.42 g, 4.1 mmol) in THF is added over 20 minutes. The resulting solution is stirred at −75° C. for 2 hours. The cooling bath is removed and the mixture is allowed to reach room temperature, then stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture is quenched with ice cold water (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×75 ml, dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo to give a residue (1.1 g) which is used as such for the next step.
