Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-Methoxy-[2,2′]bipyridinyl-6-carbonitrile (1.0 g, 4.73 mmol), Palladium hydroxide-Pd 20%-50% in water (0.66 g, excess), ammonium formate (1.5 g, excess) and ethanol (60 mL) was stirred at 27° C. for 2 hours. The reaction was then filtered thorough celite, washed with methanol (150 mL) and dichloromethane (150 mL) and the organic phase evaporated to dryness affording C-(4-Methoxy-[2,2′]bipyridinyl-6-yl)-methylamine as an orange oil (0.80 g, 45%, in a ratio 72 to 28 product vs. byproduct).
