Reaction Steps

Ethyl β-[[2-[[(1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl]amino]-acetyl]amino]pyridine-3-propanoate (from Step C) (232 g, 0.66 mole) was dissolved in warm dioxane (1 liter). After cooling to room temperature, 4M HCl in dioxane (1.6 liters) (Aldrich) was slowly added. A white precipitate formed after several minutes and then turned to a thick goo. After 2 hours, the solvent was decanted off. The goo was slurried in ether and the ether decanted off until a white solid resulted. This was dried under vacuum to yield ethyl β-[(2-aminoacetyl)amino]pyridine-3-propanoate, bis hydrochloride salt (224.2 g) as a white hygroscopic solid.
