Reaktionsschritte

LiAlH4 (48.0 g, 1.27 mol) was added into MTBE (600 mL) portion-wise at room temperature. To the suspension was added 2-methoxy-4,6-dimethylpyridine-3-carbonitrile (Cpd S, 103 g, 0.636 mol) in MTBE/THF (1:1, 600 mL) portion-wise. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for an hour then quenched with water (75 mL). The precipitate was collected by filtration and the solids washed with THF (3×100 mL). The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to give the 1-(2-methoxy-4,6-dimethylpyridin-3-yl)methanamine (Cpd T), which was used in the next step directly.
