Reaction Steps

In a flame dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under inert atmosphere (N2), 2-bromo-pyridine-4-carbaldehyde (904 mg, 4.86 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (10 mL). NaBH4 (236 mg, 5.99 mmol) was added portionwise at 0° C. and the reaction mixture stirred at rt for 1 h. Water (10 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with EA (3×20 mL). The combined org. extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a white solid. TLC:rf (1:1 hept-EA)=0.22. LC-MS-conditions 02: tR=0.63 min; [M+H]+=188.33.
