Sodium aluminium hydride in THF (2.0 ml of a 1M solution) was carefully added to substantially anhydrous magnesium chloride (0.19 g, 1.5% H2O) under nitrogen. The mixture was stirred and heated to 50° C. and then a solution of (+)-1-benzyl-3-hydroxymethyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (0.60 g) in THF (1.7 ml) was added dropwise over approximately 2 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred and boiled under reflux for 4 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and then stirred in an ice/water bath whilst water (0.1 ml) then 5M sodium hydroxide solution (0.1 ml) and water (0.1 ml) were added. The suspension was diluted with THF (5 ml) and the mixture filtered. The residue was washed with THF (3×5 ml) and the combined filtrate and washings were evaporated under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil (0.49 g). This oil was analysed by GLC, Chiral HPLC and 1H nmr using the conditions described above. Starting material 13.2% was still present in the product as analysed by GLC. The amount of desfluoro compound as determined by HPLC was less than 0.1%.
