Procedure

A stream of diazomethane (from N-methyl-N-nitrosotoluene-4-sulphonamide, 18.0g) in argon (P. Lombardi, Chem. and Ind., 1990, (21), 708) was passed into a solution of (RS)-tetrahydrofuroyl chloride [prepared from (RS)-tetrahydrofuroic acid (3.48g, 30mmol) as described in Example 2(a)] in dichloromethane (60ml) cooled in an ice bath. When the diazomethane addition was complete, 48% aqueous hydrogen bromide (5.6ml, 33.2mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred 0.25h then washed twice with water, dried, concentrated and flash chromaographed on silica gel eluting with 10% ethyl acetate in hexane to give the title compound as a pale yellow oil (4.44g, 77%); vmax (CH2Cl2) 1733, 1245, 1073 and 938cm-1 ; δH (CDCl3) 1.85-2.35 (4H, m), 3.85-4.05 (2H, m), 4.20 (2H, s), 4.54 (1H, dd, J 6.1, 8.2Hz). [Mass spectrum: +ve ion (ammonia) MNH4+ (210)].
