Procedure

To a cooled (0° C.), stirred solution of (S)-2-(N-tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-1-propanol (6.74 g, 0.04 mol), benzyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (8.78 g, 0.04 mol), and Ph3P (15.13 g, 0.06 mol) in THF (100 ml) was added DIAD (11.4 ml, 0.06 mol), and the reaction mixture was heated under reflux overnight. The solution was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (30 ml) and TFA (30 ml). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. and the solution was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in CHCl3, washed with sat. NaHCO3, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica-gel with CHCl3 to CHCl3-MeOH (9:1, v/v) as eluent to give benzyl (S)-4-(2-amino-1-propoxy)benzoate (6.63 g, 2 steps, 60%) as a yellow oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.18 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 3 H), 3.35–3.39 (m, 1 H), 3.71–3.75 (m, 1 H), 3.90–3.93 (m, 1 H), 5.34 (s, 2 H), 6.90–6.93 (m, 2H), 7.32–7.46 (m, 5H), 8.01–8.04 (m, 2H).
