Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-amino-6-chloro-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (95 mg, 0.55 mmol) is taken up in THF (1 mL) and combined with BH3-THF complex (2.2 mL, 2.2 mmol, 1 M in THF). The reaction mixture is stirred for 2 d at 20° C. The reaction is ended with dilute HCl and H2O, then neutralised with NaHCO3, extracted with EtOAc, the organic phase is dried on MgSO4, the solvent is eliminated in vacuo and (3-amino-6-chloro-pyridin-2-yl)-methanol is obtained (HPLC-MS: tRet.=0.79 min, MS(M+H)+=159; method AFEC).
