Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round bottom flask was charged with 4-amino-1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid hydrochloride (0.28 g, 1.431 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.435 g, 3.15 mmol) and water (1.908 mL). To the mixture was added 2,4-dichloro-5-nitropyridine (0.276 g, 1.431 mmol) as a solution in dioxane (0.954 mL). After the resulting mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 24 hours, it was cooled to RT and treated with 2N aqueous HCl to bring the pH to about 4-5. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3×40 mL). The combined organic portions were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford 4-(2-chloro-5-nitropyridin-4-ylamino)-1-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxylic acid as a yellow solid (0.28 g, 62.0% yield). MS m/z=316.2 [M+H]. Calc'd for C12H14ClN3O5: 315.1.
