Procedure

2,4-Dichloro-5,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine (135.0 g, 0.488 mol) and ethyl 4-aminobutyrate hydrochloride (114.0 g, 0.683 mol) were triturated in N,N-dimethylformamide (675 mL) (DMF) at 0° C. Triethylamine (272.6 mL, 1.95 mol) was added to generate a brown slurry. After 15 minutes, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and the reaction was stirred overnight. Analysis by 1H NMR indicated the reaction was incomplete. An additional amount of triethylamine (102.2 mL, 0.73 mol) and ethyl 4-aminobutyrate hydrochloride (35.28 g, 0.159 mol) in DMF (200 mL) were added to the reaction mixture and allowed to stir over an additional 24 hours. Half of the reaction mixture was added to separate flasks and deionized water (3 L) was added to each flask and were stirred for 1 hour. The resulting precipitate in each flask was harvested by filtration and dried under reduced pressure. The crude product was recrystallized from ethyl acetate and filtered to yield 86.20 g of ethyl 4-[(2-chloro-5,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridin-4-yl)amino]butyrate as a yellow granular solid.
