Reaction Conditions:

with thionyl chloride at 0 - 20;Inert atmosphere;

Steps:

(R)-Dimethyl 2-hydroxysuccinate (5)
SOCl₂(2.40 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of (R)-malic acid 4 (2.0024 g, 15 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) at 0^oC. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours then concentrated under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography (1:1 EtOAc:Pet ether) gave 5 (2.4034 g, 99%) as a light yellow oil, with spectral data in accordance with the literature [6, 7]. R_f (1:1 EtOAc:Pet ether): 0.30. ¹H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl₃) ppm 4.52 (q, J = 5.5 Hz, 1H, H2), 3.82 (s, 3H, OCH₃), 3.72 (s, 3H, OCH₃), 2.95-2.74 (m, 2H, H3). ¹³C NMR (126 MHz, CDCl₃) d ppm 173.9, 171.2, 67.4, 53.1, 52.2, 38.6. HRMS (ESI): Calcd. for C₆H₁₀NaO₅ [M+Na]⁺: 185.0420; found: 185.0427.
