Procedure

To a mixture of azetidin-3-yl-(4-bromo-2-nitro-phenyl)-amine, hydrochloride (27.7 mmol, 8.54 g) in acetonitrile (100 mL) and 37% aqueous formaldehyde (83.0 mmol, 6.28 mL, 3.00 equiv.) at 0° C. add sodium triacetoxyborohydride (88.6 mmol, 18.8 g) slowly. Stir at room temperature under nitrogen overnight. Remove volatiles under reduced pressure. Dilute with ethyl acetate, wash with 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate twice, dry over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, and concentrate under reduced pressure to obtain 8.5 g of an orange solid. Purify on a 120 g silica column eluting with 5% methanol in dichloromethane to obtain the title compound (5.92 g, 75%). LC-MS m/z (79Br/81Br) 286.0/288.0 [M+H]+.
