Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Add 6-azidomethyl-nicotinic acid methyl ester (2.3 g, 11.97 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) in a flask and cool to 0° C. Add 1M lithium aluminum hydride solution in tetrahydrofuran (17.95 mL, 17.95 mmol) slowly. Stir the mixture for 30 min. Quench the reaction with ice. Add 10 mL of saturated Rochelle's salt solution. Stir for 30 min. Filter, remove the solvent under reduced pressure to give 6-aminomethyl-pyridin-3-yl-methanol (1.6 g, 97% yield) as a yellow oil.
