Procedure
A solution of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (0.084 g, 0.216 mmol) in dichloromethane (1 ml) was added to a solution of levulinic acid (0.047 g, 0.406 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 ml). A white crystalline solid of dicyclohexylurea formed immediately. The suspension was allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 min, then chilled in an ice bath for 3 h min, and left to stand at 4° overnight before filtration. The colourless filtrate was concentrated to give a colourless oil with a small amount of suspended white solid of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and dicyclohexylurea (DCU). This was used as crude in the preparation of (3).
