Procedure

1.67 g (5 mmol) of N,N-bis-(tert-butoxycarboxy-methyl)-S-ethyl-2-mercaptoethylamine is dissolved in 12 ml of tetrahydrofuran and mixed with 6 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The resulting reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum. The residue is pulverized with 10 ml of absolute diethyl ether. Then, the product is filtered off and dried in a medium-high vacuum.
