This was followed by the addition of iron (2.9 g, 51.79 mmol, 9.99 equiv) in several batches at 70° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 4 h at 70° C. in an oil bath. The solids were filtered out. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The resulting solution was diluted with 10 mL of water, extracted with 3×20 mL of ethyl acetate, and the organic layers combined. The resulting mixture was washed with 3×10 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum. This resulted in 1.4 g (85%) of methyl 2-(2-amino-5-(piperidin-1-yl)phenyl)isonicotinate as a black semi-solid.
