Procedure
L-Leucine (15.00 g, 0.1144 mol) was heated to 100° C. under vacuum overnight, suspended in THF (150 ml) and stirred at 45° C. in a 3-neck flask with a reflux condenser fitted, under N2 pressure. Triphosgene (13.574 g, 0.4 eq) was added via a solid addition tube. After ca 80 min, the reaction had gone clear and the mixture was washed with dry diethyl ether (1 L) through the filter agent Celite (5 cm deep) in a sinter funnel (diameter 8 cm porosity 3) to a RB flask.
