Procedure

L-Valine (S) (0.213 mol) was dissolved in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (645 mL) with NaHCO3 (0.640 mol) in water (645 mL). Methylchloroformate (0.235 mol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was acidified to pH 3 with 1N HCl. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound 1 as a white solid in 98% yield. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ (ppm) 0.93 (d, J=7.00 Hz, 3H), 1.00 (d, J=7.00 Hz, 3H), 2.23 (m, 1H), 3.70 (s, 3H), 4.33 (m, 1H), 5.26 (brs, 1H), 8.50 (brs, 1H); and MS (ESI, EI+) m/z=176 (MH+).
