Triethylamine → 2-(Azetidin-1-ylcarbonyl)-5-bromopyrimidine

Oxalyl chloride (1.50 mL, 16.79 mmol), followed by DMF (2 drops), were added to a mixture of 5-bromopyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid (2.86 g, 14.0 mmol) in DCM (40 mL). The reaction was stirred at RT for 2 hours, the volatiles removed in vacuo and the residue dissolved in DCM (40 mL). Azetidine hydrochloride (1.44 g, 15.39 mmol), followed by triethylamine (4.29 mL, 30.78 mmol), were added and the mixture stirred at RT for 72 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and ethyl acetate (100 mL) added to the residue. The organics were washed with water (100 mL), citric acid (50 mL), saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (50 mL), brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo to give a yellow solid. The solid was chromatographed on silica, eluting with a gradient of 50-100% ethyl acetate in isohexane, to give the desired compound as a yellow solid (0.86 g).
