Procedure

n-Butyllithium 1.6 M in hexane (1.63 ml, 2.61 mmol) was diluted with tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) and cooled to −78° C. Acetonitrile (107 mg, 0.137 ml, 2.61 mmol) was added dropwise and stirring was continuing for 1 hour. (S)-tert-butyl 2-(4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl)morpholine-4-carboxylate (420 mg, 1.31 mmol) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran was slowly added to the white slurry over a 10 min period. After 3 hours, the reaction was quenched by addition of saturated ammonium chloride solution (5 ml) and extracted with diethyl ether (10 ml). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated.
