Procedure
2,2-Dimethyl-3-(N-CBz-D-valyloxy)-propionic acid chloromethyl ester (2.4 g, 6 mmole) was dissolved in acetonitrile (30 ml). Sodium iodide (1.26 g, 8.4 mmole) was added to the solution. After reaction at 70° C. for 2 hr, the reaction mixture was filtered and the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride (20 ml) and refiltered. The solution was dried and gave the titled product. 2.68 g.
