Procedure

The above-described pyridine derivative was converted into invention compound of Formula I by the addition of one equivalent of fumaric acid to a methanol (5 mL) solution of the free amine at 25° C. After 30 minutes the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue pumped under high vacuum. Trituration with diethyl ether followed by recrystallization from ethyl acetate afforded 5-trimethylsilyl-3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine fumarate, (51%). M.p. 161°-162° C.
