Please don't top post. What exactly "does not do it" for you?

I am no expert in syntax highlighting. But this should be possible using
\z() (see :h :syn-ext-match)
Something like this should work then for you:
:syn region myFOLD2 start="\z(if\)" end="end \z1" transparent fold
Or grep the VIMRUNTIME/syntax/ directory for how to use it:
:vimgrep /\\z(.\{-})/ $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/*.vim

is what possible?

I don't understand your question.
