Diethyl Ether → 2-t-Butylthio-3-(aminomethyl)-5-ethyl-6-methylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of lithium aluminum hydride (54 mg, 1.42 mmol) in diethyl ether (10 mL), under a nitrogen atmosphere, was added dropwise a solution of 2-t-butylthio-3-cyano-5-ethylpyridine (222 mg, 0.95 mmol) in diethyl ether (6 mL). After stirring for 3.5 hours at room temperature, the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous sodium sulfate and the ether layer dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated to give 219 mg (96%) of crude oily product.
