Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-chloro-6-methylpicolinonitrile (3) (200 mg, 1.31 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added NaBH4 (150 mg, 3.94 mmol), CoCl2 (5 mg) at room temperature. After 30 min, the mixture was filtered and purified by reverse phase chromatography (X bridge Prep C18OBD, 40-60% MeOH in water with 10 mmol NH4HCO3 modifier) to afford the compound as an oil.
