M. Ontoria et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 16 (2006), 4026, a solution of 2-methyl-pyridine (0.50 g, 5.37 mmol) in 10 ml of anhydrous THF was cooled to −78° C. under an atmosphere of argon. n-Butyllithium (2.36 ml of a 2.5 M solution in hexane, 5.91 mmol) was added dropwise and the solution was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h. 3-bromo-cyclohexene (0.68 ml, 5.91 mmol) was added then dropwise and the temperature was allowed to rise to ambient temperature over 3 h. After stirring overnight, the mixture was quenched by addition of 20 ml of water and extracted twice with EA. The combined organic phases were washed with a saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give 0.436 g of 2-(cyclohex-2-en-1-ylmethyl)-pyridine as an orange oil. This product was dissolved in 8.4 ml of ethanol, 5% palladium on charcoal (50% in water; 0.087 g) was added, and the mixture was hydrogenated under a hydrogen pressure of 3.2 bar for 4 h at room temperature. The catalyst was then filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to give 0.415 g of the title compound as an oil.
