Procedure

To a solution of 3-(N-methyl-N-methoxycarbamoyl)furan (14 g, 0.09 mol) in 150 mL of THF cooled to -78° C. was added in portions 36.1 mL (0.108 mol) of 3M methylmagnesium bromide in ether and the mixture was heated to warm to room temperature, and then stirred for 30 min. To the above mixture was added a cold 2N HCl (100 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with ether (3×100 mL), the combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to yield a pale-yellow oil. The above oil was chromatographed on silica (methylene chloride/hexane 2:1) to afford 6.95 g (70.2%) of 1-(3-furyl)-1-propanone as a colorless oil which crystallized as a white solid.
