Participants

Procedure

A mixture of tert-butyl (2,6-dichloro-3-nitropyridin-4-yl)carbamate (700 g, 2.27 mol) and iron (1272.7 g, 22.7 mol) in ethanol (5 L) and water (1 L) was stirred at room temperature for 10 h. The mixture was filtered, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and the crude product was crystallized using EtOAc to give tert-butyl (3-amino-2,6-dichloropyridin-4-yl)carbamate. Preparative Example 2.3 4,6-dichloro-3-((trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)methyl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine
