Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-nitro-5-bromopyridine (320 mg, 2.02 mmol) in EtOH (6 mL) was treated with diisopropylethylamine (710 μL, 520 mg, 4.04 mmol) and (S)-3-hydroxypyrrolidinol (350 mg, 4.04 mmol). The mixture was heated in a sealed tube at 85° C. for 21.5 h then cooled and partitioned between CH2Cl2 and water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated and the residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column with a 40-100% EtOAc in hexanes to 0-30% THF in EtOAc gradient to afford the product, as a yellow solid (200 mg, 47% yield). HRMS m/z calcd for C9H11N3O3 [M+H]+: 210.0873; Found: 210.0873.
