实验步骤: Starting from 2-tert-butoxymethyl-oxirane (5), 4-fluoromethyl-5H-furan-2-one can be prepared according to the method described in scheme 2. In the first step, the oxirane ring is opened with potassium hydrogendifluoride to form 1-tert-butoxy-3-fluoro-propan-2-ol (6) which is then oxidized to the corresponding ketone (7). The oxidation can be carried out according to known methods such as e.g. with sodium hypochlorite in the presence of a catalyst such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy radical (TEMPO). In a next step 1-tert-butoxy-3-fluoro-propan-2-one (7) is reacted with tert-butyl acetate in the presence of a strong base such as lithium diisopropylamine (LDA) to form 3-tert-butoxymethyl-4-fluoro-3-hydroxybutyric acid tert-butyl ester (8) which can be cyclizised to 4-fluoromethyl-4-hydroxy-dihydro-furan-2-one (9) under strong acidic conditions (e.g. by employing trifluoroacetic acid or sulfuric acid 95%). Preferably, the cyclization is carried out with only a small amount of sulfuric acid 95% (e.g. 0.025 mol equivalent in relation to the educt) in a solvent such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane or dioxane. These two last steps can alternatively be carried out in a one-pot procedure, e.g. without isolating 3-tert-butoxymethyl-4-fluoro-3-hydroxybutyric acid tert-butyl ester (8). In a final step 4-fluoromethyl-5H-furan-2-one (III) is obtained by dehydration of 4-fluoromethyl-4-hydroxy-dihydro-furan-2-one (9). The dehydration can be performed according to known methods, e.g with acetic anhydride in the presence of an amine base such as triethylamine. Alternative dehydration methods include the use of thionyl chloride in the presence of pyridine or mesyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. In a further alternative dehydration method, 4-fluoromethyl-4-hydroxy-dihydro-furan-2-one (9) is reacted with acetic anhydride to form the intermediate 4-acetoxy-fluoromethyl-dihydro-furan-2-one which is then reacted with sodium acetate in de-ionized water to obtain the compound of formula III. can be prepared
