Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of racemic (2S)-2-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)amino)-3-tert-butoxypropanoic acid (1.01 g, 3.43 mmol) in THF (10 mL) at −15° C. was treated with isobutyl chloroformate (0.440 mL, 3.43 mmol) followed by N-methylmorpholine (0.380 mL, 3.43 mmol). After 15 minutes, the milky white reaction mixture was treated dropwise with ammonium hydroxide (2.8 mL of 30% reagent, 5.0 mmol). The reaction flask was warmed to −15° C. and stirred for 45 minutes. The clear homogeneous mixture was treated with brine (20 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×40 mL). The organic portions were combined and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (15 mL) and brine (15 mL), and dried (MgSO4). Filtration and removal of solvent provided 928 mg of the desired product a white solid.
