Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-amino-6-methyl-1-(tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl)-2-pyridinone (960 mg, 4.0 mmol), as prepared in the preceding step, and N-methylmorpholine (840 μL, 8.0 mmol) in methylene chloride (40 mL) was added α-toluenesulfonyl chloride (765 mg, 4.0 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. Additional methylene chloride (50 mL) was added. The resulting methylene chloride solution was washed with saturated NaHCO3 (2×50 mL), 10% citric acid (3×50 mL) and brine (50 mL), and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was concentrated to give a solid which was washed with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:2, 60 mL) to give the title compound as a white solid (1.4 g, 89%). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.35 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.31 (m, 5H), 7.20 (s, 1H), 6.02 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 4.75 (s, 2H), 4.31 (s, 2H), 2.27 (s, 3H), 1.51 (s, 9H).
