Reaction Steps

(250 mg, 0.738 mmol) N-(5-Bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-3-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (Example 97, step 1) dissolved in DMF (3 ml) was added at room temperature to a solution of NaH (29.5 mg, 0.738 mmol, 1 equiv.) in 5 ml DMF. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 70° C. The reaction mixture was evaporated and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel column and eluting with an ethyl acetate:heptane gradient 10:90 to 15:85. The desired 1-(5-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-azetidin-2-one (160 mg, 72% yield) was obtained as a white solid.
