Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-(2-Cyanopyridin-4-yl)pyridine (Method 99; 563 mg, 3.11 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (10 ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere and was cooled to 0° C. LiAlH4 (2.3 ml of a 1M solution in THF, 2.3 mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours. The reaction was quenched with water (0.1 ml) followed by 15% sodium hydroxide solution (0.1 ml) then water (0.3 ml). The mixture was filtered and the filter pad was washed with methanol. The volatiles were removed from the filtrate by evaporation to give the title compound (570 mg, 99%) as a gum. m/z 186 (MH)+
