Reaction Steps

The starting amine, (3-pyridinyl)methyloxyethylamine, was prepared by the following procedure: reaction of the sodium salt of 3-pyridinylmethanol and chloracetonitrile in dimethylformamide gave 2-(3-pyridinyloxy)acetonitrile, which, upon reduction with borane in tetrahydroduran solution, gave the desired amine.
