Procedure

For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,798,077, "Preparation of Methyl-(beta-picolyl)-Amine," issued to R. Schlapfer et al. in 1957, it is disclosed that 3-cyanopyridine can be hydrogenated h the presence of excess methylamine and a Raney nickel catalyst to yield N-methyl-3-picolylamine and beta-picolylamine. Separation of the beta-picolylamine is then required.
