A mixture of (3R)-2-methyl-3-hydroxybutanoic acid 3.6 g, chloral 8.3 g, pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS) 0.7 g and dichloromethane 20 ml was refluxed for 25 hours under a dehydration condition. 40 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate was added thereto and the resulting separated organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off to obtain 6.3 g of (2R, 6R)-2-trichloromethyl-5,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-one.
