Reaction Steps

To TFA (5 mL) was added to a solution of (S)-methyl 3-(3-(benzyloxy)-4-methylphenyl)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)propanoate (1.0 g, 2.5 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) at 0° C. with stirring. The mixture was stirred for 1 h and then concentrated to dryness. The residue was azeotroped with EtOAc (10 mL×3) to remove residual TFA and afford crude (S)-methyl 2-amino-3-(3-(benzyloxy)-4-methylphenyl)propanoate as its TFA salt.
