4-Cyanopyridine → Pyridine-4-amidine hydrochloride

참여 물질

반응 단계

Sodium methoxide (0.54 g) and 4-cyanopyridine (10.4 g) were combined in anhydrous methanol (100 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 18 h, under a nitrogen atmosphere. Ammonium chloride (5.99 g) was then added, and the mixture heated to reflux for 4 h, under a calcium chloride guard tube. The reaction was cooled, evaporated under reduced pressure, re-suspended in ethanol (120 ml) and heated to reflux for another 15 min. The resultant white precipitate was filtered off, dried, then triturated with ice-cold water and dried under vacuum at 40° C. to yield the title compound as a white solid (7.44 g, 47%). Two further crops were obtained through concentration of the ethanol filtrate (total yield 12.1 g, 77%)
