Reaction Steps

1.16 g (6.61 mmol) of (S)-(2-hydroxy-propyl)-carbamic acid t-butyl ester was dissolved in 20 mL of dichloroethane, then 0.66 mL (9.84 mmol) of ethyl diazoacetate was added thereto. 57 mg (0.12 mmol) of rhodium acetate was dropwise added thereto, and then heated to at 80° C. for 2 hour. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography to give 1.2 g (4.59 mmol) of the title compound in a yield of 69%.
