Procedure

3.00 g (17.7 mmol/1 eq) of L-threonine methyl ester hydrochloride are suspended in 50 ml of methanol, and 7.4 ml (53 mmol/3 eq) of triethylamine are added thereto. After 10 minutes, the mixture is cooled to 0° C. and the benzoyl chloride (2.74 g/190.5 mmol/1.1 eq) is added. Stirring is carried out at 0° C. for a further two hours. The solvent is then removed using a rotary evaporator. The solid that remains behind is taken up with ethyl acetate/H2O (50/20 ml). The aqueous phase is separated off and extracted by shaking twice more with ethyl acetate (30 ml each time). The combined organic phases are washed with 15 ml each of H2O and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. 4.07 g (97% of theory) of a white solid are obtained.
