Reaction Steps

A solution of diisobutylaluminium hydride in hexane solution (0.93M) (138 ml) was added to dropwise a solution of ethyl 6-{[(3R)-1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-pyrrolidinyl]amino}-5-chloronicotinate (15.9 g) in THF (200 ml) with stirring at 0-15° C. under atmospheric pressure of nitrogen, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 5-20° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled at 5° C. and MeOH (10 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 20 minutes. The potassium sodium tatarate tetrahydrate (36.4 g) was added to a above solution and the resultant mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtrated and the filtrate was dried over MgSO4. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was chromatographed on silicagel eluting with AcOEt-n-hexane (9:1). The eluted fractions containing the desired product were collected and evaporated in vacuo to give tert-butyl (3R)-3-{[3-chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-pyridinyl]amino}-1-pyrrolidinecarboxylate (5.85 g).
