To a solution of tert-butyl 3-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (19.8 g, 107 mmol) in 1:1 DCM/methanol (150 mL) was added trimethylorthoformate (46.8 mL, 428 mmol), followed by TsOH.H2O (˜0.5 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Then more TsOH.H2O (˜0.25 g) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated at room temperature and the resulting residue was dissolved in ether and washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution, then with brine. The ethereal layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, 15% ethyl acetate/hexane) gave 22.2 g (90%) of tert-butyl 3,3-dimethoxycyclopentanecarboxylate.
