Procedure

To a solution of BOC-L-Gln (20 g, 81 mmol) in 50 mL of EtOAC and MeOH at 0° C. was added diazomethane in 250 mL of Et2O with stirring. The resulting yellow solution was stirred at 0° C. for 5 minutes and then warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 20 minutes. Argon gas was then bubbled through the yellow reaction mixture to remove excess diazomethane. The crude product was concentrated and purified by crystallization from methyl-tert-butyl ether. Yield 100%. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.45 (s, 9H), 1.96 (m, 1H), 2.21 (m, 1H), 2.36 (m, 2H), 3.76 (s, 3H,), 4.34 (m, 1H), 5.32 (m, 1H), 5.44 (bs, 1H), 6.16 (bs, 1H). Anal. (C11H20N2O5) C, H, N.
