Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 1.5 g of methyl 2-methylnicotinate in 20 mL of THF at 0° C. was added 844 mg of LiAlH4. After 20 min., 0.84 mL of H2O, 0.84 mL of 15% aqueous NaOH, and 2.5 mL of brine. EtOAc was added, the ice bath removed, and stirring was continued for 1 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite and concentrated to give 889 mg of crude (2-methylpyridin-3-yl)methanol which was used without further purification.
