Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3R,4R,5S)-1-(3-(bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pyridin-4-yl)-3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-5-methylpiperidin-4-yl methanesulfonate (1.0 equiv.) in DMF (0.10 M) was added NaCN (5.0 equiv.). The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 6 hrs and partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. The organic layer was washed NaCl(sat), dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by ISCO SiO2 chromatography to yield tert-butyl ((3S,4S,5R)-1-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pyridin-4-yl)-4-cyano-5-methylpiperidin-3-yl)carbamate in 5% yield. LC/MS (m/z)=432.2 (MH+), Rt=0.73 min.
