Procedure

To a solution of 4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)butanoic acid (7.0 g, 34.5 mmol) and K2CO3 (9.5 g, 68.9 mmol) in acetone (70 mL) was added MeI (7.5 g, 51.8 mmol) at rt. The reaction solution was stirred at 45° C. for 12 hrs. The mixture was washed with water and saturated sodium chloride, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated to afford methyl 4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)butanoate (6.2 g, 83%) as a yellow oil. ESI-MS (EI+, m/z): 240 [M+Na]+.
