Procedure

To a stirred solution of (S)-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-hydroxybutyric acid methyl ester (1.43 g; CAS 120042-11-7) in THF (4 ml) were added phenol (692 mg), triphenylphosphine (1.77 g) and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (1.36 g). The resulting yellow solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was evaporated and purified by column chromatography (SiO2; gradient: heptane/EtOAc 100:0→90:10) to give (S)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-4-phenoxy-butyric acid methyl ester (1.16 g, 61%) as a light yellow oil. MS (ISP): 210.1 ([M+H-BOC]+)).
