Reaction Steps

1-(6-Bromopyridin-2-yl)-2-fluoroethanone (0.53 g, 2.43 mmol) was taken up in MeOH (12 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Sodium borohydride (0.092 g, 2.43 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. Water was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a colorless oil.
