A round bottom flask was charged with 0.44 g (3.23 mM) of 2-methoxy-3-pyridine carboxaldehyde (24), 1.24 g (16.15 mM) of ammonium acetate, and 0.61 g (19.69 mM) of sodium cyanoborohydride. The flask was then flushed with argon, and then 50 mL of dry MeOH was added by syringe. The reaction was stirred for 2 days, at which point the MeOH was evaporated off 25 mL of water was added, and the mixture was brought to pH 2 with conc. HCl. This was extracted twice with EtOAc to remove the alcohol side product. The mixture was brought to pH 10 using sodium hydroxide pellets, saturated with NaCl, and extracted twice with DCM and once with EtOAc. The combined organics were dried and evaporated to give 0.31 g (69%) of 3-aminomethyl-2-methoxypyridine (25).
