After 3 h the reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. The organic layer was separated, dried (anhydrous magnesium sulfate) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica get, 1:1 hexane:ethyl acetate) to give 33.08 g (94.0%) of 3-(S)-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino]-2-acetoxy-4-methylpentanenitrile as a viscous yellow oil; TLC Rf =0.70 (silica gel, 1:1 hexane:ethyl acetate).
