A mixture of the product of Example 4(b), 2-chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine, (8.1 g, 0.05 mol), methylamine (60 ml of a 30% w/v solution in water, 0.5 mol) and ethanol (100 ml) was heated, with stirring, under reflux for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature (20° C.) and the solvent removed by evaporation under reduced pressure to give a brown oil. The product, N-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-N-methylamine, was isolated from this oil by flash chromatography using silica gel, 230 to 400 US mesh (0.062 mm to 0.037 mm), with 10% v/v methanol/dichloromethane as eluent, as a brown oil (5.96 g, 76.1%).
