Reaction Steps

(2S)-2-[(2-Chloro-5,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridin-4-yl)amino]propan-1-ol (3.62 g, 13.9 mmol) was dissolved in 30 mL of dry pyridine under an atmosphere of N2. tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride (2.52 g, 16.7 mmol) and DMAP (0.17 g, 1.39 mmol) were added sequentially, and the reaction was heated to 50° C. and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was partitioned between 50 mL of ethyl acetate and 50 mL of H2O. The layers were separated and the organic portion was washed with H2O and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting material was passed through a plug of SiO2, eluting with a mixture of CH2Cl2, ethyl acetate and hexanes, to afford N-((1S)-2-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-1-methylethyl)-2-chloro-5,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridin-4-amine (4.79 g) as an orange oil.
