Procedure

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (532 mg, 2.51 mmol) was added to methyl 2-(piperidin-4-yl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (222 mg, 1.00 mmol), formaldehyde (37% aqueous solution, 1.50 ml, 20.07 mmol) and acetic acid (0.115 ml, 2.01 mmol) in methanol (4.994 ml) at 25° C. The resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was diluted with methanol (20 mL) and the crude product was purified by ion exchange chromatography, using an SCX column. The desired product was eluted from the column using 7M NH3/MeOH and evaporated to dryness to afford methyl 2-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (223 mg, 94%) as a cream waxy solid. This was used directly with no further purification.
