Reaction Steps

A solution of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (15.0 g, 53.2 mmol) in DCM (25 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of 4-(hydroxymethyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (4.75 g, 41.0 mmol) and 2,6-lutidine (7.15 mL, 61.4 mmol) in DCM (111 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes. The product mixture was diluted with DCM (100 mL) and was washed with water (3×100 mL). The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under vacuum.
