Participants

Reaction Steps

1.6 g of 3,4-dichloro-2-ethylpyridine and 2.5 g of 4-(2,4-dichlorobenzylidene)cyclohexylamine are heated at 180° C. for 3.5 hours together with 55 g of ammonium chloride in 9 ml of N-methylpyrrolidone. After cooling, the mixture is poured into saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate.
