Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-dihydro-furan-3-one (2.84 g, 20.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv; commercially available) and tert-butoxy-bis(dimethylamino)methane (3.65 g, 20.9 mmol, 1.05 equiv; commercially available) was heated to 60° C. for 24 h (in analogy to a procedure described in H. H. Wasserman and J. L. Ives J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1976, 98, 7868-7869). The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica eluting with diethyl ether to yield 3.3 g (84% yield) of the title compound. MS (EI): 197 [M]+.
