Procedure

196 ml of 3-aminopropanol (2.56 mol) were diluted in 250 ml of dichloromethane and the whole was cooled to 0° C. on an ice bath. 20 g of tert-butyl bromoacetate (102.5 mmol), solubilized in 200 ml of dichloromethane, were then added dropwise while the reaction mixture was maintained at 0° C. At the end of the addition (2 hours later), the reaction mixture was left at room temperature for 3 hours.
