Procedure

Sodium borohydride (146 mg, 3.85 mmol) was added to cooled (0° C.) a suspension of 2-bromo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine hydrobromide (230 mg, 0.77 mmol) in acetic acid (1.5 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (2.8 mL). On complete addition the mixture was heated to 60° C. for 3 h. The mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The pH of the aqueous phase was adjusted to 10 by the addition of 3N sodium hydroxide solution and the layers separated. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to give the title compound as a yellow oil (181 mg, 96%). 1H NMR (DMSO-D6, 300 MHz): 6.93 (s, 1H), 3.50-3.47 (m, 2H), 3.66-2.46 (m, 6H), 1.05 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H). LCMS (Method B): RT=1.79 min, M+H+=246/248.
