Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-(4-hydroxy-5-oxo-3-phenyl2,5-dihydro-2-furyl)propionate (262 mg), ethyl iodide (234 mg) and potassium carbonate (207 mg) in dimethylformamide (3 ml) was stirred for 3.5 hours at ambient temperature. The mixture was poured into a mixture of dichloromethane (10 ml) and water (10 ml). The separated organic layer was washed with water three times, dried and evaporated to dryness. The oily residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (8 g, elution by benzene) to yield methyl 3-(4- ethoxy-5-oxo-3-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-2-furyl)propionate (0.20 g) as an oil.
