Step CC: (R)-3-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-4-methyldihydrofuran-2-one To a solution of (R)-4-methyldihydrofuran-2-one (1.68 g in 40 mL dioxane) were added 5.51 g 3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid methyl ester followed by 1.82 g sodium hydroxide and the mixture heated to reflux on an oil bath. After 3 hours, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and the pH neutralized by the addition of 0.5N hydrochloric acid. The mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic portion washed with brine and diied over sodium sulfate. Purification of the concentrate by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexane:ethyl acetate, 9:1) gave the title compound (2.42 g).

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route Methyl 3,5-dimethylbenzoate, its application will become more common.
