Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-[6-(1-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-1-methylethyl)pyridin-3-yl]-2-nitrothiophene-3-carboxamide (665 mg, 1.58 mmol) in THF (10 mL) were added AcOH (0.36 ml, 6.13 mmol) and TBAF (1.0 M in THF, 6.31 mL, 6.31 mmol). The sealed reaction was stirred at 90° C. for 18 h. Additional AcOH (0.361 ml, 6.13 mmol) and TBAF (6.31 mL, 6.31 mmol) were added, and the reaction was stirred at 90° C. for another 24 h. The brown solution was cooled to room temperature, diluted with water, and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (2×), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated. Flash chromatography of the crude residue (50-100% EtOAc/hexanes) provided a yellow residue that was triturated with Et2O and filtered to isolate the title compound as a yellow solid.
