Reaction Steps

A quantity (1.95 g., 0.01 mole) of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methylpyridine-1-oxide hydrochloride (prepared in Part B, Example 1, above) with 10 ml. pyrrolidine and 10 ml. water was sealed in a reinforced bottle and heated in an oil bath at the temperature 155° C. for 5 hrs. After cooling, this reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with three 50-ml. portions of methylene chloride. The methylene chloride extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, treated with charcoal, and filtered. The methylene chloride was removed from the filtrate by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the residue thus obtained was triturated with acetone and collected on a filter. The solids on the filter were crystallized from about 400 ml. acetonitrile. There was thus obtained 0.98 g. (51% yield) of 2-amino-6-methyl-4-pyrrolidinylpyridine-1-oxide as fine white needles having a melting point at 282° C. (with decomposition). The crystals became pink colored after exposure to light for several days.
