Reaction Steps

Nitroacetone (1.1 g) and N-(2-chloro-5-pyridylmethyl)-N-methylethylenediamine (2.0 g) were dissolved in toluene (60 ml), and the solution was refluxed for 3 hours in a flask equipped with a water separating device while removing water formed by the reaction. Toluene was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the remaining solid was recrystallized from ethanol to give the desired N-(2-chloro-5-pyridylmethyl)-N-methyl-N'-(1-methyl-2-nitrovinyl)ethylenediamine (2.0 g) having a melting point of 78° to 80° C.
