Procedure

To a stirred solution of ethanolamine (4.0 g, 66 mmol) in DCM (4 mL) was added benzyl chloroformate (4.6 mL, 33 mmol) at 0° C. After 1 h, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and washed with 1.0N HCl (40 mL) and water (40 mL). The organics were separated, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. To a solution of the crude product in ethyl acetate (30 mL) was added hexanes (30 mL). The resulting crystals were filtered and dried to give the title intermediate as a white solid (4.5 g, 70%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ (ppm): 7.4-7.29 (m, 5H), 5.00 (s, 2H), 4.64 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 3.38 (q, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 3.07 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 2H).
