Participants

Reaction Steps

In one liter of MeOH was dissolved 16.5 g (0.1 mole) of 1,1-bis(methylthio)-2-nitroethylene with heating and on reflux, a solution of 11.0 g (0.1 mole) of 3-pyridylmethylamine in 200 ml of MeOH was added dropwise in 4 installments at 1-hour intervals. The mixture was further refluxed for 3 hours and the MeOH was distilled off. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as white prisms. In this procedure, the compound 1--1 described in Example 1 was also produced as a byproduct.
