Komponenten

Versuchsvorschrift

A solution of N-(5-cyano-4-methyl-2-pyridinyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (D98) (0.050 g, 0.22 mmol) in formic acid (1.35 mL) was diluted with water (0.48 mL) and nickel/aluminium alloy (0.122 g) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux under argon for 2 h then filtered while still hot, washing with further formic acid (3×5 mL). The filtrate and washings were concentrated, diluted with toluene (5 mL) and re-concentrated to give the crude title compound as a pale yellow solid (0.053 g) which was used in the next step without further purification. δH (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 9.91 (1H, s), 8.34 (1H, s), 6.31 (1H, s), 5.49 (2H, br.s), 2.57 (3H, s). MS (ES): MH+ 137.2.
