Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-ethyl piperidine-3-carboxylate (1 g, 6.33 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (15 mL) were added 2-amino-3-nitro-6-chloropyridine (1.098 g, 6.33 mmol) and triethylamine (1.921 g, 18.99 mmol) at room temperature. The mixture was heated to 100° C. for 18 h, then was poured into ice water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified via flash chromatography (100-200 mesh silica, 30% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to afford (R)-ethyl 1-(6-amino-5-nitropyridin-2-yl)piperidine-3-carboxylate (650 mg, 93.5%). MS (ES+APCI) (M+H) 295.1; LCMS retention time 2.832 min (Method G).
