Procedure

2-Benzylamino-propionic acid ethyl ester (1.4 g, 6.7 mmol), methyl oxo-butanoate (1.7 g, 13.5 mmol), LEA (1.9 mL, 13.5 mmol) and NaBH(Oac)3 (2.9 g, 13.5 mmol) are taken up in 1,2-DCE (35 mL) and stirred at rt for 4 h. The reaction is partitioned between DCM and saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The organic layer is removed, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue is used without further purification. MS (ESI) m/z 308.3 (M+1).
