Procedure
2-Methyl-3-oxo-2-tetrahydrofuroic acid, t-butyl ester (100 mg, 0.5 mmol) was treated with 1/1 trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until all starting material had disappeared by TLC. The excess trifluoroacetic acid was removed via a stream of nitrogen and the residue was coevaporated with dichloromethane and purified via a silica gel SepPak plug. This 30 provided 49 mg of the desired product (68%), homogeneous by TLC (Rf=0.1 in 4/1 hexane/ethyl acetate).
