Adapting a literature known protocol (Fex, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,299,104), tert-butyl(3R)-4-[5-[bis(2-chloroethyl)carbamoyloxymethyl]-2-nitro-phenyl]-3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)butanoate (20b) is prepared through carbamoylation of tert-butyl(3R)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-phenyl]butanoate (20a) (731 mg, 2.0 mmol) with commercial N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)carbamoyl chloride (439 μL, 614 mg, 3.0 mmol) in anhydrous pyridine (15 mL) at about 0° C. The reaction mixture is stirred with gradual warming to room temperature. The reaction is monitored by TLC and/or LC/MS to completion. Excess of the carbamoyl chloride is destroyed with crushed ice. Aqueous work-up followed by purification through silica gel column chromatography afford the title compound (20b).
