Benzaldehyde → N-benzal-6-(methylthio)pyridine-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(methylthio)-5-aminopyridine (1 g, 7 mmol), benzaldehyde (0.76 g, 7 mmol), tetraisopropyl titanate (3 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (25 mL) were mixed and stirred to react at 70° C. for 24 hours. Saturated sodium carbonate solution was added into the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate for three times. The combined organic phase was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to yield the residual (1.72 g), which was directly used in the next reaction step without purification.
