At this temperature, a solution of cyclopropylmagnesium bromide (0.7 M in tetrahydrofuran) (105 ml, 73.8 mmol) is slowly added and the mixture is warmed to 0° C. within 30 min. After completion of the reaction, 10% aqueous ammonium chloride is added and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic layers are washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated to dryness. The reaction is repeated once and the combined crude products are purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 75% ethyl acetate/cyclohexane) to yield 2-cyclopropyl-4-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (15.1 g).
