Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-3-(4-fluoro-phenylamino)-2-methyl-propionic acid methyl ester (282 mg, 1.25 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was treated with triethylamine (2.00 mL, 14.3 mmol) and cooled to 0° C. under argon. A solution of triphosgene (211 mg, 0.71 mmol) was added to the reaction dropwise and the mixture allowed to reach room temperature. After 1 hour, the mixture was diluted with DCM, washed with 1N HCl and the organic layers concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography to afford the product (260 mg, 82%).
