1,3-Propanediamine → N-(5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridylmethyl)trimethylenediamine

5-Trifluoromethylpicoline aldehyde (3.5 g) was added dropwise at room temperature to a solution of trimethylenediamine (7.4 g) in benzene (70 ml). After the addition, the mixture was gradually heated with stirring, and then while separating water as an azeotrope, refluxed for 2 hours. Benzene was distilled off under reduced pressure, and then the residue was dissolved in ethanol (100 ml). With stirring at 10° to 15° C., sodium borohydride (0.9 g) was added little by little. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Ethanol was distilled off at less than 30° C. Dichloromethane was added to the residue, and a portion of it soluble in dichloromethane was separated. Dichloromethane was distilled off under reduced pressure, and volatile materials were removed at 1 mmHg and less than 60° C. to give N-(5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridylmethyl)trimethylenediamine (3.5 g) as a colorless oil.
