Procedure

To a solution of 1-benzylimidazolidin-2-one (3.5 g, 19.9 mmol) in DMF (50 ml) at 0° C. were added lithium tert-butoxide (1.9 g, 23.8 mmol) and tert-butyl bromoacetate (3.2 ml, 21.8 mmol). After stirring the mixture at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was poured into water (100 ml) and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water, 10% aqueous citric acid solution, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and brine. The organic solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crystalline residue was washed with n-hexane, and dried to give tert-butyl 2-(2-oxo-3-benzylimidazolidinyl)acetate (5.08 g).
