Reaction Steps

A slurry of vinyl pyridine (161.4 mL, 1.5 mol) and ammonium chloride (240.7 g, 4.5 mol) in 1:1 MeOH/H2O (1.2 L) was heated to reflux for 18 h. The resulting homogenous solution was basified to pH13 with 3N NaOH and extracted repeatedly with CH2Cl2. The organic extracts were combined and concentrated to give a green oil, which was fractionally distilled to give 2-1 as an amber liquid.
