Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1aR,5aR)-2-(4-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-1a,2,5,5a-tetrahydro-1H-2,3-diaza-cyclopropa[a]pentalene-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (9.0 g, 25.8 mmol) in THF (50 mL) and MeOH (50.0 mL) was added a 2.0 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (25.8 mL, 51.7 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 23° C. for 2 h then concentrated to remove the organic solvents. The remaining residue was diluted to 150 mL with water. This solution was filtered to remove trace insoluble impurities then acidified to pH ˜3 with 6 M HCl. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, rinsed with water, then dried under vacuum to give the title compound (8.3 g) as a white solid. LCMS m/z=320.0 [M+H]+.
