To a solution of 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethanone (22) (2.0 g, 8.7 mmol) in pyridine (24 mL) was added methoxyl amine hydrochloride (1.45 g, 17.4 mmol) in one portion at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at 50° C. for one hour. The pyridine was removed under vacuum, and residue was added water and extracted with ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. Purification by chromatography on silica gel gave a mixture of geometrical oxime isomers (1.77 g, 78%) as a yellow oil. To a solution of above mixture of syn- and anti-oximes, (1.77 g, 6.8 mmol) in THF (32 mL) at room temperature was added borane-THF complex (1M, 17 mL). The resulting solution was refluxed for 3 hours, and cooled to 0° C. Water (28 mL) was carefully added followed by 20% NaOH (28 mL). The resulting biphasic mixture was refluxed overnight, and allowed to cool to room temperature. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. Combined ethyl acetate phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)ethanamine (23) (1.2 g 76%) as yellow oil.
