Reaction Steps

NaCNBH3 (100 g, 1.59 mol) was added to a mixture of tert-butyl (2,6-dichloro-3-((1-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)ethylidene)amino)pyridin-4-yl)carbamate (80 g, 0.2 mol) and acetic acid (60 mL) in ethanol (1.2 L). The mixture was heated to 50° C. for 4 h. TLC (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate=8:1) showed the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was cooled down, poured into ice water, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give crude tert-butyl (2,6-dichloro-3-((1-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)ethyl)amino)pyridin-4-yl)carbamate, which was used for the next step without further purification.
