Claim:
A method for preparing pyridin-2-yl-methylamine derivatives of formula (I): in which: u represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical; v represents a hydrogen atom or a chlorine atom or a methyl radical; w represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom or a methyl radical; y represents a chlorine atom or a methyl radical; z represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom or a methyl radical; and A represents: a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom or a chlorine atom; a C 1 –C 5 alkyl radical; a fluoroalkyl radical; a cyclopropyl radical; a 5-membered aromatic heterocyclic group; an alkoxy or alkylthio group; a cyclic amino group; an alkoxycarbonyl group; or an amino group of the type: in which R2 or R3, which are identical or different, represent hydrogen, or a C 1 –C 5 alkyl radical as defined above or a cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl radical or a trifluoromethyl radical, comprising reacting a cyanohydrin of formula (III): with a pyridin-2-ylmethylamines of formula (IV): in which the radicals u, v, w, y, z and A have the meanings given above with respect to formula (I).
