The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 4 h. MeOH (100 μL) and 1N HCl (250 μL) were added and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with Et2O (50 mL) and washed with 1N HCl (2×50 mL), 50% saturated NaHCO3 (50 mL) and water (50 mL), then dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give benzyl (1,1-dimethyl-2-oxoethyl)carbamate. Rf=0.40 (20% EtOAc in hexanes). LCMS calc.=244.1; found=244.1 (M+Na)+. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.43 (s, 1H), 7.38-7.30 (m, 5H), 5.34 (s, 1H), 5.09 (s, 2H), 1.37 (s, 6H).
