How is Tetrahydro-2-furanylmethyl methacrylate (CAS: 2455-24-5) typically synthesized?

Tetrahydro-2-furanylmethyl methacrylate is typically synthesized by the reaction of methyl methacrylate with tetrahydro-2-furanyl methanol in the presence of a base such as potassium tert-butoxide. This process involves a nucleophilic substitution where the hydroxyl group of tetrahydro-2-furanyl methanol attacks the methyl group of methyl methacrylate. Yield is usually high, and the reaction is carried out under mild conditions to maintain the integrity of the product.
