Procedure

To a solution of O-tert-butyl-N-BOC-D-serine (4 g, 15.31 mmol), phthalimide (3.38 g, 22.9 mmol) and triphenyl phosphine (6.03 g, 22,9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (120 ml, anhydrous) was added diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (4.5 ml, 22.9 mmol). The mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere over night. The tetrahydrofuran was removed on the roto-evaporator and the remainder was taken up in methylene chloride (60 ml) and loaded onto a flash silica gel column. Elution with ethyl acetate/hexanes (19%) gave tert-butyl-2(R)-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-3-phthalimido-propionate (3.74 g) as a white powder.
