Procedure
A stirred solution of [3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-[1,3]dioxin-5-ylidene)-3-hydroxy-propyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester in absolute ethanol (112 ml) was heated to reflux at 70° C. overnight, and cooled to room temperature. The mixture was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 5-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-oxo-pentanoic acid ethyl ester (11.22 g, 87%) as a white solid.
