Reaction Steps

To 4.0 g. (0.026 mole) of 2-(2-pyridyl)thioacetamide in 20 ml. of water at 0°C. is added 2.9 g. (0.053 mole) of propargylamine with stirring and the resulting suspension is allowed to stand overnight at 5°C. Ethanol (5 ml.) is added and the mixture is stirred for 5 hours, then extracted with dichloromethane. The extracts are dried and concentrated. The residue is chromatographed on a silica gel "dry-column", using 1:10 ethyl acetate/ether as the eluant. The product fraction is treated with charcoal, filtered, concentrated and the residue is recrystallized from benzene/ligroin to give N-propargyl-2-(2-pyridyl)thioacetamide, m.p. 62°-63°C.
