(S)-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-2-phenylglycine (250 g) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (136.2 g) and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodimide (205.1 g) were combined in dichloromethane (3000 mL) at 0-5° C. and the mixture stirred for 15 minutes. A solution of N-methylbenzylamine (128.1 mL) in dichloromethane (835 mL) was added slowly, maintaining 0-5° C. The resulting slurry was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight before being filtered, washing the by-product solids with dichloromethane (500 mL). The combined filtrate was twice washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (2×1500 mL), twice washed with 50% saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (2×1500 mL), once washed with 2.5% aqueous citric acid solution (1500 mL) and once washed with demineralized water (1500 mL), providing a dichloromethane solution of tert-butyl (S)-2-[benzyl(methyl)amino]-2-oxo-1-phenylethylcarbamate. Analysis by chiral HPLC showed that 2% of the wrong enantiomer (tert-butyl (R)-2-[benzyl(methyl)amino]-2-oxo-1-phenylethylcarbamate) to be present at this stage.
