Aminoacetales are VERY sensitive to acids, but maybe the ring
stabilizes the compounds somewhat.

Dissolve your educt (diamine) - 2+ equiv. -
in water and add 1 equiv. Fmoc-Cl in Dioxane or THF slowly droppwise
with good stirring. The product precipates.
We use this method for Fmoc-hydrazine, but it also should work with
your substrates.

I'm rather sure that you don't need to protect your hydroxyamin- OH
group. The NH2 is much more reaktive, if your conditions aren't too
acidic. Therefor it would be very tricky to get an OH-protected
hydroxyamin (at least with one step), maybe then acryl-nitrile could
work as a baselabile PG. (R-O-CH2-CH2-CN, refer to DNA-synthesis)

But probably a good surplus of the diamine is enough to get only the
'monosubstituted' product.
