Reaction Steps

To 5-bromo-6-chloro-3-(1-BOC-2-(R)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy)pyridine from step 69a (210 mg, 0.54 mmol) was added formalin (37%, 7 mL) and formic acid (3.5 mL), and the mixture was heated at 70° C. for 2.5 hours. The solvent was concentrated, and solid NaHCO3 was added to the residue. At pH 8 the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2, which was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column, eluting with CH2Cl2:MeOH 100:5-100:10 to afford to give the free base of the title compound (110 mg, 67% yield). MS (CI/NH3) m/z 305/307 (M+H)+. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 1.68 (m, 3H), 2.02 (m, 1H), 2.32 (m, 1H), 2.48 (s, 3H), 2.67 (m, 1H), 3.12 (m, 1H), 3.96 (m, 2H), 7.52 (m, 1H), 8.06 (m, 1H). The base was converted to the salt by treatment with hydrogen chloride in THF to give the title compound. MS (CI/NH3) m/z 305/307 (M+H)+. 1HH NMR (D2O, 300 MHz) δ: 2.20-2.17 (m, 2H), 2.18-2.31 (m, 1H), 2.32-2.47 (m, 1H), 3.03 (s, 3H), 3.27 (m, 1H), 3.73 (m, 1H), 3.96 (m, 1H), 4.36 (dd, J=6.1, 11.2 Hz, 1H), 4.53 (dd, J=3.1, 11.2 Hz, 1H), 7.91 (d, J=2.7 Hz, 1H), 8.13 (d, J=2.7 Hz, 1H). Anal. Calcd for C11H14N2OBrCl.1.1 HCl: C, 38.22; H, 4.40; N, 8.10. Found: C, 37.95; H, 4.81; N, 7.76. [α]25D=+11.06° (c 0.24, MeOH).
