Procedure

To a stirred solution of 2 (0.376 mol), DIEA (196 mL, 1.13 mol) and THF (200 mL) was added benzyl chloroformate (59.0 mL, 0.414 mol) dropwise. After the reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr, the solution was concentrated on a rotovap. The residue was partitioned between sat. NaHCO3 (300 mL) and dichloromethane and the aqueous phase extracted with additional dichloromethane (100 mL×3). The combined dichloromethane layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give product 3 (0.376 mol).
