Reaction Steps

(2R)-2-Amino-3-(difluoromethoxy)propanoic acid (680 mg, 4.39 mmol) was mixed with sodium bicarbonate (738 mg. 8.78 mmol) and acetic anhydride (491 mg, 4.82 mmol) in water (10 mL) and dioxane (10 mL) at 0° C. to room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was acidified with 1N HCl to pH 2, concentrated and extracted with ethyl acetate, and concentrated again to give (2R)-2-(Acetylamino)-3-(difluoromethoxy)propanoic acid (580 mg, 82.3%) as a colorless sticky oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): (ppm) 6.40 (d, 1H), 6.24 (wt, 1H), 4.88 (m, 1H), 4.36 (dd, 1H), 4.22 (dd, 1H), 2.12 (s, 3H).
