(1aR,5aR)-2-(4-Bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-1a,2,5,5a-tetrahydro-1H-2,3-diaza-cyclopropa[a]pentalene-4-carboxylic acid ((S)-1-hydroxymethyl-2,2-dimethyl-propyl)-amide (2.38 g, 5.68 mmol) was dissolved in DMA (10 mL). Nitrogen was bubbled through the solution for 20 min. Zinc(II) cyanide (1.333 g, 11.35 mmol) and palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine (0.328 g, 0.284 mmol) were added. The reaction was heated under microwave at 120° C. for 1 h. The reaction was diluted with 100 mL ethyl acetate, filtered, then concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography and then crystallized from EtOAc/hexanes to give the title compound as a white solid (1.78 g). LCMS m/z=366.2 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 0.45 (td, J=4.7, 3.3 Hz, 1H), 1.06 (s, 9H), 1.25 (td, J=8.0, 4.9 Hz, 1H), 2.26-2.32 (m, 1H), 2.35 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 2.78-2.83 (m, 1H), 2.93 (d, J=17.2 Hz, 1H), 3.03 (dd, J=16.7, 6.3 Hz, 1H), 3.66-3.72 (m, 1H), 3.94-4.01 (m, 2H), 7.01 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (dd, J=5.1, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 8.15 (dt, J=1.1 Hz, 1H), 8.62 (dd, J=5.1, 0.8 Hz, 1H).
