Methylamine → (2R)-(4E)-N-Methyl-5-(3-pyridyl)-4-penten-2-amine

A mixture of (2S)-(4E)-5-(3-pyridyl)-4-penten-2-ol p-toluenesulfonate (3.80 g, 11.97 mmol) and methylamine (20 mL, 2.0M solution in THF) was heated at 100–110° C. for 8 h in a sealed glass tube. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator. The resulting brown syrup was diluted with saturated NaHCO3 solution (25 mL) and extracted with chloroform (4×25 mL). The combined chloroform extracts were dried (K2CO3), filtered, and concentrated by rotary evaporation to afford a thick, brown syrup (2.00 g). The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with chloroform-methanol (95:5, v/v). Selected fractions were combined, concentrated by rotary evaporation affording a 800 mg (37.9%) of a pale-yellow oil.
