Procedure

To a solution of L-glutamic acid (10.07 g, 0.068 mol, J&K CHEMICA) in 20 ml of concd. HCl and 40 mL H2O was added a solution of NaNO2(7.0 g, 0.102 mol, Shantou Xilong chemical factory) in H2O (20 mL) slowly at −5° C. The mixture was continued to stir for 12 hrs at room temperature. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo below 50° C. to give yellow oil, which was dissolved in EtOAc. The solid formed was filtered and washed with EtOAc. The filtrate and washing solution were combined, dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was concentrated in vacuo to give (S)-tetrahydro-5-oxofuran-2-carboxylic acid as pale yellow oil (8.1 g, 91.6%)1.
