I usually do this in two phases. First setup the
vertical split, then use:

:windo diffthis

To setup the split, here are two easy ways
depending on whether you know the buffer number or
not:

If you do (and say that number is 2):

:vert sb 2

If you don't:

:vert sb <tab>

will give you a list of opened buffer to choose
from. You can use completion again after typing a
few characters. But it might be even quicker to
use ":ls" to find out the buffer number and use
the first method above.
