Procedure
To a solution of 3-amino-1-propanol (3.75 g, 50 mmol) in methylene chloride (40 mL) was slowly added benzyl chloroformate (3.4 g, 20 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 3 h. Additional methylene chloride (50 mL) was added, the solution washed with 10% citric acid (3×50 mL) and brine (50 mL), and dried over Na2SO4. After evaporating the solvent in vacuo, the residue was purified by filtration through silica gel (1:1 ethyl acetate:hexane) to give the title compound as a white solid (4.05 g, 97%). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.34 (m, 5H), 5.17 (br s, 1H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 3.66 (t, J=5.8 Hz, 2H), 3.33 (t, J=6.1 Hz, 2H), 2.63 (br s, 1H), 1.69 (pentet, J=6.1 Hz, 2H).
