Procedure

Tetrahydrofuran (125 mL) and N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-methyl-2-pyridine carboxamide (1 equivalent) are charged and cooled to -40° C. under nitrogen. Two equivalents of n-butyllithium are then added over 40 minutes. When half the n-butyllithium is added the mixture turns purple. Sodium bromide (1.3 g) is added and then 3-fluoro-benzyl bromide (1.05 equivalents) is added dropwise (1:1 solution in tetrahydrofuran) over 40-50 minutes while the temperature is maintained at -40° C. After 30 minutes at -40° C., the mixture is diluted with water (250 mL) and the organic phase separated. This phase is dried over sodium sulphate and the solvent removed yielding an oil from which solid product, 3-[2-(3-fluorophenyl)ethyl]-N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-pyridine carboxamide, may crystallize.
