Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(1-Carbamimidoyl-cyclopropyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester hydrochloride (1.0 g, 4.2 mmol) (prepared according to the procedure described in patent application WO 2009/070485 A1) and 3-dimethylamino-2-bromo-propenal (1.1 g, 6.4 mmol) are added to EtOH (2 mL) in a pressure tube. The reaction vessel is capped and the mixture is heated at 80° C. for 24 hours. The mixture is cool to room temperature and methanol (20 mL) is added. The resulting solids are filtered and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved with CH2Cl2 (50 mL) and the solids are filtered. The filtrate is concentrated and the residue is purified by silica gel chromatography using a gradient of 0-50% EtOAc in hexanes to afford [1-(5-bromo-pyrimidin-2-yl)-cyclopropyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a solid.
