Procedure

Tert-butyl cyclopropylmethylcarbamate (11.2 g, 65.4 mmol) was dissolved into THF (60 mL) and set to stir at −78° C. BuLi (2.5M, 28.8 mL) was then added portionwise over 10 minutes. The reaction was allowed to stir while warming to −20° C. for 10 minutes, and continued stirring at that temperature for another 10 minutes. The reaction was then recooled to −78° C. at which point chloro(methoxy)methane (5.79 g, 72.0 mmol) was added via syringe. The reaction was then allowed to stir overnight with warming. The reaction was then quenched with 1 N HCl and the organic layer separated. The aqueous layer was then extracted with DCM (2×), and the combined organic portions were dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified by passing through a silica plug eluting 10:1 Hex/EtOAc to give tert-butyl cyclopropylmethyl(methoxymethyl)carbamate (12.8 g, 91%) as a clear liquid.
