Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(6-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-ethanone (600 mg, 3.01 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (20 mL) was added piperidine (0.5 mL) followed by NaBH(OAc)3 (1.3 g, 12.06 mmol) and HOAc (0.7 mL, 6.03 mmol). The mixture was heated at 40° C. for 72 h. The reaction was quenched with 2M Na2CO3 and stirred 1 h. The organic layer was collected, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. This crude compound was purified by chromatography on silica gel. Elution with hexane:acetone mixture (90:10) gave a light yellow solid. MS m/z: 269.2 (M+H). Calc'd. for C12H17BrN2-268.06.
