Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 6-(methylamino)-3-pyridinecarbonitrile (D94) (0.1 g, 0.752 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) cooled to −78 C under argon was added Dibal-H (1.88 mL, 1M solution in toluene, 11.2 mmol) dropwise. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. and then allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. MeOH (0.47 mL) and 2 M H2SO4 (1.42 mL) were added and mixture was stirred for 1.5 h then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water and EtOAc. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc and the combined organic layers were dried and concentrated to give the title compound (0.067 g). δH (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 9.78 (1H, s), 8.52 (1H, d), 7.92 (1H, dd), 6.45 (1H, d), 5.38 (1H, br.s), 3.04 (3H, d). MS (ES): MH+ 137.1.
