Cl[C:2]1[N:9]=[CH:8][CH:7]=[CH:6][C:3]=1[C:4]#[N:5].[CH2:10]([NH2:12])[CH3:11]>O>[CH2:10]([NH:12][C:2]1[N:9]=[CH:8][CH:7]=[CH:6][C:3]=1[C:4]#[N:5])[CH3:11]A stirred mixture of 4 g. of 2-chloronicotinonitrile in 200 ml. of a saturated ethanolic ethylamine solution was heated under reflux for 5 hours. The solution was cooled and was diluted with 400 ml. of water. The precipitate of 2-ethylaminonicotinonitrile which formed was collected, air dried and was used directly in the next step without further purification.
