Reaction Steps

A solution of (S)-tert-butyl-4-(3-(6-bromopyridin-3-yloxy)-2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (315 mg, 0.714 mmol) in degassed DMSO (5 mL) was added sodium ethanesulfinate (117 mg, 1.15 mmol), trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (33 mg, 0.286 mmol) and Cu(I) triflate benzene complex (54 mg, 0.107 mmol). The reaction was heated to 110° C. for 12 hours at which point the reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and partitioned between water (5 mL) and EtOAc (10 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer extracted with EtOAc (2×5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting material was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 1:1 hexanes/EtOAc to yield (S)-tert-butyl-4-(3-(6-(methylsulfonyl)pyridine-3-yloxy)-2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (315 mg, 94%) as a white solid.
