6-Methyl-5-vinyl-3-(1-t-butyloxycarbonyl-(2S)-azetidinylmethoxy)pyridine (0.26 g, 0.86 mmol, from Example 35 above) was dissolved in MeOH (15 mL) and treated with 10% Pd/C (50 mg) and 1 atm hydrogen gas. After 1 day, the catalyst was removed, the solvent evaporated, and the residue was chromatographed (silica gel; hexanes-EtOAc, 1:1) to provide 5-ethyl-6-methyl-3-(1-t-butyloxycarbonyl-2-(S)-azetidinylmethoxy)pyridine (0.12 g, 45%): MS (CI/NH3) m/z: 307 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ1.23 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H), 1.42 (s, 9H), 2.23-2.38 (m, 2H), 2.47 (s, 3H), 2.60 (q, J=7 Hz, 2H), 3.86-3.93 (m, 2H), 4.12 (dd, J=3, 9 Hz, 1H), 4.29 (dd, J=5,10 Hz, 1H), 4.43-4.53 (m, 1H), 7.04 (d, J=3 Hz, 1H), 8.05 (d, J=3 Hz, 1H). The product from above (0.26 g, 0.85 mmol) was treated with 10 mL of 1:1 TFA-methylene chloride at 0° C. for 1 hour. The residue was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate and extracted into CHCl3. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated to provide of the free base of the title compound (132 mg, 75%). This was dissolved in ether and treated with 1 M HCl in ether and the resulting salt collected by filtration to provide the title compound (52 mg, 25%). The mother liquor was evaporated to further provide 73 mg of the title compound: mp 150-153° C.; [α]D −7.6 (c 0.62, MeOH); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ1.34 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H), 2.63-2.76 (m, 2H), 2.72 (s, 3H), 4.04-4.19 (m, 2H), 4.49-4.63 (m, 2H), 4.88-4.97 (m, 1H), 8.14 (d, J=2 Hz, 1H), 8.40 (d, J=2 Hz, 1H); MS (CI/NH3): m/z 207 (M+H+). Anal. Calcd for C12H18N2O.2HCl.0.1 H2O: C, 51.29; H, 7.25; N, 9.97. Found: C, 51.21; H, 7.14; N, 9.77.
