Procedure

To a suspension of (2S) alanine tert-butyl ester hydrochloride (3.63 g, 20 mmol) in a mixture of ethyl formate (10 mL) and DCM (5 mL) was added diisopropylethylamine (3.83 mL, 22 mmol) and the reaction mixture was refluxed overnight. The solvents were evaporated and the residue was then triturated in Et2O and filtrated. The filtrates were evaporated and the residue was filtered through a short pad of silica using ethyl acetate as eluent. Evaporation of the solvent afforded the sub-title compound as a colorless oil which crystallised upon standing (2.806 g, 81%): 1H NMR (400 MHz CDCl3) δ 1.43 (3H, d), 1.50 (9H, s), 4.55 (1H, m), 6.31 (1H, br s), 8.16 (1H, s).
