Procedure

N-benzyl-O-methyl-D-serinamide (92 g), was mixed with dichloromethane (368 ml) at ambient temperature and stirred for 10 minutes to get a clear solution. To this solution, dimethylaminopyridine (0.47 g) was added at ambient temperature. Acetic anhydride (45.09 g) was slowly added over 15-20 minutes at ambient temperature. The solution was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was washed with sodium hydroxide (19.16 gm dissolved in 291 ml water), and deionized water (276 ml). The layers were separated and solvent was completely recovered under vacuum at 35° C. to 40° C. to get crude product. Yield=82.6 gm; Chiral purity=100%.
