Pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (100 mg, 0.77 mmol) was dissolved in dry DMF (0.5 MI) in a shield tube. 6-Bromonicotinonitrile (140 mg, 077 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture, followed by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperadine (110 mg, 0.77 mmol) and the mixture was heated to 130° C. for 3 h, cooled to room temperature, and diluted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with H2O and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 60-120 mesh, eluent 15-18% EtOAc in petroleum ether) to afford methyl 1-(5-cyanopyridin-2-yl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (90 mg, yield 70%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.42 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.62-7.59 (dd, J=8.9 Hz, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 6.36 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 3.78-3.77 (m, 2H), 3.75 (s, 3H), 3.67 (m, 1H), 3.56-3.52 (m, 1H), 3.28-3.23 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 1H), 2.37-2.30 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H).
