2-[2-(Pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]aniline → 6-[2-(2-Aminophenyl)ethyl]-N,N-diethylpyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N-diethyl-6-(o-nitrostyryl)nicotinamide (16.3 g., 0.05 mole) reduced in 150 ml. of ethanol employing 0.1 g. of 10% palladium on carbon catalyst according to the procedure described in Example 2a for 2-(o-aminophenethyl)pyridine provides 6-(o-aminophenethyl)-N,N-diethylnicotinamide base. Addition of ethanolic hydrogen chloride to the nicotinamide base in ethanol provides 6-(o-aminophenethyl)-N,N-diethylnicotinamide dihydrochloride, m.p. 224°-226°C. (corr.).
