Procedure

0.72 g (19.2 mmol) of sodium borohydride is added to a solution of 4 g (16 mmol) of 2-fluoro-4-iodo-3-pyridinecarbaldehyde (described in J.O.C., 1993, 58, pp. 7832) in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours and then hydrolysed. The reaction mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are dried and concentrated to yield the expected product.
