Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl(1-(6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-3-yl)ethyl)carbamate (221 mg, 0.69 mmol, Step-1, single enantiomer) and sodium hydride (61 mg, 1.52 mmol, 60% in oil) in N,N-dimethylformamide (7 mL) is added dropwise iodomethane (0.065 mL, 1.04 mL) at room temperature. After stirring at room temperature for 3.5 hours, the reaction mixture is slowly poured into water (30 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The organic layer is washed with water (30 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate. After concentration in vacuo, the residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (9:1) to give 198 mg (86% yield) of the title compound as colorless oil.
