Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (70 mg, 1.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) was added a solution of ethyl 6-{[(3R)-1-benzyl-3-piperidinyl]amino}nicotinate (250 mg, 0.74 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) dropwise at 0° C. under nitrogen and the mixture was stirred at same temperature for 3 hrs. To the reaction mixture was added methanol and water dropwise at 0′ and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. The precipitate was removed by vacuum filtration and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo to give (6-{[(3R)-1-benzyl-3-piperidinyl]amino}-3-pyridinyl)methanol (219 mg, 100%) as an oil.
