Procedure

To a mixture of 28.11 g of Intermediate 1 (Example 1) and 280 g of methanol was added 0.6 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. With stirring in a nitrogen atmosphere, the mixture was heated under reflux for 8 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was concentrated to about 200 ml. The concentrate was poured into a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and extracted with ether. The ether solution was washed, dried, and concentrated, obtaining 21.8 g (yield 72%) of methyl 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-5-methylhexanoate. This crude product had a sufficient purity as an intermediate and was ready for use in the subsequent step.
