Reaction Steps

(+/−)-3-amino-5-((3R,4R)-4-amino-3-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)-4-chlorobenzonitrile (prepared from Example 171D) (1.0 g, 3.75 mmol) and potassium acetate (0.736 g, 7.50 mmol) were dissolved in acetone (20 ml)+water (6 mL). The solution was cooled to 0° C. under nitrogen. Chloroacetic chloride (0.373 ml, 4.69 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes, then at room temperature for 60 minutes. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and aq. NaHCO3 solutions. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. MgSO4 was removed by filtration and volatiles evaporated in vacuum to afford (+/−)-N-((3R,4R)-1-(3-amino-2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-3-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl)-2-chloroacetamide (0.61 g); The material was used without further purification.
