Reaction of 6-chloronicotinic acid (I) with methyllithium lithium bromide complex gives methyl ketone (II), which is treated with dibromobarbituric acid (III) in refluxing THF to afford bromoketone (IV). Asymmetric reduction of (IV) with (-)-DIP-chloride [(-)-B-chlorodiisopinocampheylborane] provides bromohydrin (V), which is converted into epoxide (VI) by treatment with NaOH in THF/H2O. Opening of the epoxide moiety of (VI) with p-nitrophenethylamine hydrochloride (VII) in MeOH in the presence of Et3N followed by N-protection with Boc2O in THF yields ethanolamine (VIII), which is then hydrogenated over Ni-Raney in EtOH/NaOH to furnish dechlorinated aniline (IX). Condensation of (IX) with 1,1-bis(methylsulfanyl)-2-nitroethylene (X) in isopropanol gives compound (XI), which is then subjected to reaction with aniline (XII) in isopropanol to afford nitroethylenediamine (XIII). Finally, the desired product is obtained by Boc removal of (XIII) by treatment with TFA in CH2Cl2.
