Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-6-dimethylaminomethylpyridine (14 g., 0.0825 mole) and unsym-dimethylethylenediamine (21.8 g, 0.248 mole) in 10 ml of pyridine are heated at 180° for 8 hours in a bomb. The dark reaction mixture is stirred over 20 g of solid sodium hydroxide for 1 hour on a steam bath. Then the mixture is filtered. Distillation of the filtrate gives 6.5 g of product, b.p. 110°-11° at 0.1 mm, nD25 1.5287.
