Procedure: 4-Aminobutyric acid (7.5 g) was dissolved in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (80 ml) and water (80 ml), which was cooled at 0 to 5° C. in an ice bath. To a resulting mixture was added dropwise benzyloxycarbonyl chloride (10.4 ml) with maintaining the pH from pH 8.0 to 9.0 with 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at 0 to 5° C. The reaction mixture was washed with ethyl acetate (300 ml) and aqueous layer was separated, which was adjusted to pH 1.0 with 6N-aqueous hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (300 ml). Organic layer was separated, washed with brine (100 ml×2) and dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave a residue, which was dissolved in methanol (200 ml) and added conc. sulfic acid (1 ml). The resulting solution was refluxed for 3 hours. Evaporation of the solvent gave a residue, which was dissolved In ethyl acetate (300 ml), washed in turn with water (100 ml), saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate in water (100 ml×3) and brine (100 ml×2), and dried over magnesium sulfate. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give methyl 4-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)butyrate (14.65 g). The reaction mixture was washed with ethyl acetate (300 ml) and aqueous layer was separated extracted with ethyl acetate (300 ml) Organic layer was separated washed with brine (100 ml×2) dried over magnesium sulfate Evaporation of the solvent gave a residue, which The resulting solution was refluxed for 3 hours Evaporation of the solvent gave a residue, which washed in turn with water (100 ml), saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate in water (100 ml×3) and brine (100 ml×2) dried over magnesium sulfate Solvent was removed under reduced pressure
