Reaction Steps

Batch 2: To a solution of trans-4-(6-amino-pyridin-2-yl)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.25 g, 1.0 mmol) in 70% hydrogen fluoride in pyridine (2.4 ml, 92 mmol) was added solid sodium nitrite (0.076 g, 1.1 mmol) at 0-5° C. The cooling bath was removed after 20 minutes and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction mixture was partitioned between an ice-water mixture (100 ml) and tert-butyl methyl ether (100 ml). The organic layer was collected. The aqueous layer was extracted with two 100-ml portions of tert-butyl methyl ether. The combined organic layers were washed with one 30-ml portion of 2M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, one 30-ml portion of brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to dryness to give the crude title compound (0.145 g). The batches were combined and purified by flash-chromatography with n-heptane/ethyl acetate as eluent to give the title compound (0.16 g, 51%) as colorless oil. MS m/e: 252 ([M+H]+)
