1-(2-Chloropyridin-4-yl)ethan-1-one (110 g, 707 mmol, 1.00 equiv) and methanol (1500 mL) were added to a 3000-mL 4-necked round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen. NaBH4 (26.4 g, 698 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added in portions at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of water (1000 mL). The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum and extracted with dichloromethane (3×2000 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (2×2000 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (1:5 ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) to afford 1-(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)ethan-1-ol as colorless oil.
