Reaction Steps

The 2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-pentanedioic acid 1-benzyl ester (4.06 g, 12 mmol) and TEA (5 mL, 35.87 mmol) were dissolved in THF (60 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Ethylchloroformate (3.4 mL, 35.7 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 5 minutes and warmed to r.t. for 1 h. NaBH4 (1.88 g, 49.7 mmol) was added followed by addition of 1 drop of H2O. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. overnight. 4 N HCl was added at 0° C. and extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The aqueous layer was washed with H2O (100 mL), NaOH (2×100 mL), H2O (100 mL) and brine (100 mL). The organic layer was dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by combi-flash to give 2.89 g of 2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5-hydroxy-pentanoic acid benzyl ester in 75% yield.
