Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (RS)-2-bromo-3-methyl-5-(oxiran-2-yl)pyridine (1.4 g) in THF (6 ml) was added 2-aminoethanol (3.92 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then poured into EtOAc/THF (1:1) and the mixture was washed with saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford (RS)-1-(6-bromo-5-methylpyridin-3-yl)-2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethanol (1.76 g) as an off-white solid which was used in the next step without further purification. MS (ISP): 277.0 ([{81Br}M+H]+), 275.0 ([{79Br}M+H]+), 258.9 ([{81Br}M+H—H2O]+), 257.0 ([{79Br}M+H—H2O]+).
