Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 6-chloro-4-(isopropylamino)nicotinate (2) (1 g, 4.12 mmol) in dry DCM (30 mL), DIBAL-H (8.24 mmol, 2 equiv.) (1.0 M in DCM) was added dropwise at −78° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 h, gradually, the reaction was allowed to warm up to −10° C. over 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated solution of sodium potassium tarterate and allowed to stir at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through a small pad of celite. The filtrate was washed with brine solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give crude alcohol. The crude material obtained was purified by flash column chromatography through silica gel and MeOH: CHCl3 as eluent to afford (6-chloro-4-(isopropylamino)pyridin-3-yl)methanol. LC/MS: ZORBAX SB C18, 4.6×50 mm, 5 μm; Solvent A=10% MeOH: 90% H2O: 0.1% TFA; Solvent B=90% MeOH: 10% H2O: 0.1% TFA; gradient 0-100% B over 2 min (3 min run time); retention time: 0.806 min; LCMS (ES-API), m/z 201.0 (M+H).
