Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-3-cyano-4-methoxymethyl-5-nitro-6-methylpyridine (4.8 grams, 0.02 mole), 1-ethylpropylamine (3.6 grams, 0.04 mole) and 100 ml of toluene were charged into a glass reaction vessel fitted with a stirrer, thermometer and condenser. The reaction mixture was stirred and heated to 50° C. for 34 hours. It was then filtered and the solvent stripped off under reduced pressure to yield the desired product 2-(1-ethylpropylamino)-3-cyano-4-methoxymethyl-5-nitro-6-methylpyridine as a brown solid having a melting point of 74°-76° C.
