Reaction Steps

(1aR,5aR)-2-(4-Bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-1a,2,5,5a-tetrahydro-1H-2,3-diaza-cyclopropa[a]pentalene-4-carboxylic Acid (1.00 g, 3.12 mmol) was dissolved in DMA (10 mL). 60 wt % sodium hydride (0.125 g, 3.12 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred vigorously for 5 min. Nitrogen was bubbled through the mixture for 10 min. Zinc(II) cyanide (0.734 g, 6.25 mmol) and palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine (0.180 g, 0.156 mmol) were added. The reaction was microwaved at 120° C. for 1 h. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and methanol (5 mL), filtered, then concentrated. The residue was purified by HPLC to give the title compound (0.557 g) as a white solid. LCMS m/z=267.2 [M+H]+.
