Water (3 ml) is added over a period of approx. 20 minutes at 18-22° C., then stirring is continued for approx. 15 minutes. Methanol (3 ml) is added over a period of approx. 30 minutes at 18-22° C., then stirring is continued for approx. 30 minutes to give a solution of (3R,4R)-4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl-methyl-amino)-5-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-3-hydroxy-pentanoic acid methyl ester (5), which is used as such in the next step.
