Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-oxothiane-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (2.0 g), methanol (8 ml), and methyl orthoformate (20 ml) is added p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (120 mg). After refluxing overnight, the mixture is concentrated, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried, and concentrated to give 3,3-dimethoxythiane-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.32 g).
