Hydrochloric Acid → (5-Bromopyridin-2-yl)(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methanone

Oxalyl chloride (0.83 mL; 9.3 mmol) and DMF (1 drop) were added to a solution of 5-bromoisonicotinic acid (1.57 g; 7.75 mmol) and 4M hydrogen chloride in dioxan (1.93 mL; 7.75 mmol) in DCM (50 mL). The mixture was stirred at RT for 18 hours, the DCM removed in vacuo and the residue azeotroped with toluene (2×15 mL). The residue was and added to a solution of pyrrolidine (0.78 mL; 9.3 mmol) and triethylamine (2.6 mL; 18.6 mmol) in DCM (40 mL) and the mixture stirred at RT for 6 hours. The DCM was removed in vacuo, the residue partitioned between water (75 mL) and ethyl acetate (100 mL), the organic layer washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to a residue which was chromatographed on silica, eluting with 50% ethyl acetate in iso hexane, to give the desired material (1.40 g). 1H NMR δ (CDCl3): 1.85 (m, 4H), 3.6 (m, 2H), 3.7 (s, 3H), 7.7 (d, 1H), 7.85 (s, 1H), 8.55 (s, 1H); m/z 257 (M+H)+.
