Procedure

To a solution of 2-hydroxymethyl-3-benzyloxy-6-methyl-pyran-4(1H)-one (5.28 g, 21.5 mmol, 1 eq) in 100 ml chloroform was added 27 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide and 18.5 ml of triethylamine and the reaction mixture was cooled with an ice-bath to an internal temperature of 3-5° C. Then sulfur trioxide pyridine complex (17.1 g 107 mmol, 5 eq) was added and the mixture was allowed to thaw to room temperature. After stirring for overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed with water (2×50 ml) and the organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield an organe oil. Further purification by column chromatography on silica gel (eluant: Et2O) furnished the pure product (4.6 g, 87.7%) as a white crystalline solid. m.p. 78-81° C.
