Reaction Steps

2,5-Dimethyl-3-methoxycarbonylmethylene-2-tetrahydrofuroic acid, t-butyl ester (28 mg, obtained from Step A) was dissolved in 0.25 mL of ethyl acetate and 0.25 mL of methanol. This mixture was hydrogenated under a balloon of hydrogen at room temperature for 1.25 h. The reaction mixture was filtered over a pad of celite, and the crude product obtained after removal of volatiles was purified via a silica gel SepPak, providing 21 mg of the desired compound cleanly (75% yield), homogeneous by TLC (Rf=0.2 in 10/1 hexane/ethyl acetate)
