Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (0.97 g, 3.4 mmol) was added dropwise to a 0° C. solution of (S)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (0.20 g, 1.7 mmol) and lutidine (0.41 g, 3.8 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (2 mL). The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours, then diluted with 1:4 EtOAc/hexanes and passed through a plug of silica gel. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure to yield a yellow oil which was used immediately without purification (0.38 g, 89%).
