Will be attempting alkylation with nosyl-protected amine. Literature suggests that this progress well with K2CO3 and DMF - see refs 1, 2. Some use additional catalysts e.g. 1,10-phrenanthroline and copper sulfate 3.

if returning to unprotected amine
Try different solvent/base combos.
Trying to control/limit alkylation by:
Reference for unprotected amine: https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.1c03950
try simply increasing equiv. of K2CO3 to at least double?

Try extracting with diethyl ether ? DCM works best to dissolve so far but complicates washing step. Not necessarily an issue if DMF is not used as the solvent.
Try using mesylated group instead of brominated group (KBS29). E.g. see Weilin et al (using MeCN as solvent and no base, see compound 1a in SI) or Chrzanowski et al (scheme 1, using DCM and triethylamine).
(Can also try making brominated KBS29 from mesylate - see #164).
Try in methanol or ethanol (Lorenzo?)
