Ammonia → 1-(5-Bromopyridin-3-yl)ethan-1-amine

Temperature

0 °C

To a solution of 1-(5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-ethanone (400 mg, 2 mmol) in methanolic ammonia (10 mL) was added Ti(O-iPr)4 (1.14 g, 4 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was heated to reflux and stirred over night. After cooling at 0° C., NaBH4 was added into the mixture and it was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 3 hours. Water was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. It was directly used in the next step without further purification.
