Procedure

To a stirring solution of leucine methyl ester hydrochloride (2.0 g, 11.0 mmol) in 1,4dioxane (20 mL) was added Na2CO3 (12.1 mL 2 in water) followed by benzylchloroformate (1.96 g, 11.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to yield the title compound as a colorless oil (3.1 g, 100%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.34 (m, 5H), 5.27 (d, 1H), 5.12 (s, 2H), 4.41 (s, 2H), 3.75 (s, 3H), 1.65 (m, 3H), 0.96 (m, 6H).
