Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, triethylamine (82.1 g, 0.813 mole) was added to a stirred suspension of 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine (51.4 g, 0.325 mole) and (S)-alanine ethyl ester hydrochloride (75 g, 0.488 mole) in absolute ethanol (500 ml). After refluxing for 10.5 hr. and stirring at room temperature overnight, the solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated in 500 ml of ethyl acetate, filtered, and the filter cake was rinsed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was washed three times with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to an oil weighing 85.6 g. A 1.25-g sample of the oil was eluted through 20 g of silica gel with isopropyl ether as the eluting solvent to give a pure fraction. The solvent was evaporated and the residual oil was dissolved in methylene chloride, filtered, and evaporated to an oil which was dried under high vacuum at 50° C. overnight to give 0.9 g of title compound.
