Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Over a suspension of Ra—Ni (400 mg, excess) in tetrahydrofuran, under hydrogen, a solution of 4-Methoxy-[2,2′]bipyridinyl-6-carbonitrile (500 mg, 2.37 mmol) was added in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at 25° C. The reaction was then filtered through celite, washed with tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) and the organic phase evaporated to dryness affording C-(4-Methoxy-[2,2′]bipyridinyl-6-yl)-methylamine as a pale yellow oil (466 mg, 91%).
