Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl(S)-4-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-5-methyl-3-oxohexanoate (9.68 g, 33.7 mmol) from above in THF (100 mL) at 0° C. was added potassium tert-butoxide (3.78 g, 35.4 mmol). The mixture was warmed to rt and stirred for 45 min, at which point 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (3.78 g, 33.7 mmol) and 2-chloro-1,3-bis(dimethylamino)trimethinium hexaflurophosphate (15.5 g, 50.5 mmol) were added successively. The mixture was heated to 45° C. and stirred for 3 h, at which point ammonium acetate (5.19 g, 67.4 mmol) was added. The mixture was then heated to reflux and stirred for 15 h. It was then cooled to rt and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dry-loaded onto a silica gel column and purified (eluting with 5% EtOAc in hexanes, gradient to 15%) to yield 6.09 g of ethyl(S)-2-(1-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-2-methylpropyl)-5-chloronicotinate (51%). LC-MS tR=1.14 min in 1 min chromatography, MS (ESI) m/z 357.3 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 8.61 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.18 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H), 5.71 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 5.62 (dd, J=5.2 Hz, 9.6 Hz, 1H), 4.42 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 2.08-2.00 (m, 1H), 1.42 (s, 9H), 1.42 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H), 0.93 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 3H), 0.83 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 3H).
