Reaction Steps

To a solution of (+/−)-(1R,2R,4R,6S)-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-(3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)pyridin-4-yl)-6-methylcyclohexyl methanesulfonate (1.0 equiv.) in DMF (0.13 M) was added NaN3 (1.0 equiv.). The solution was submerged in an 80° C. oil bath and left stirring under Ar for 16 hrs. The solution was cooled to rt and left stirring under Ar overnight. The solution was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. The organic layer was washed with Na2CO3(sat.), NaCl(sat.), dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by ISCO SiO2 chromatography. Purification was completed via SFC (15% IPA, 100 mL/min, IA column) to yield tert-butyl ((1R,2S,3S,5R)-5-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pyridin-4-yl)-2-azido-3-methylcyclohexyl)carbamate (21% yield, 99% ee) and tert-butyl ((1S,2R,3R,5S)-5-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)pyridin-4-yl)-2-azido-3-methylcyclohexyl)carbamate (22% yield, 99% ee). LC/MS (m/z)=447.3 (MH+), Rt=0.86 min.
