Procedure

A solution of 69 g (0.500 mol) of methyl nicotinoate and 45 g (0.500 mol) of 2-amino-2,2,dimethyl-ethanol in 600 ml of toluene was refluxed with a water separator overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo, 300 ml of water added, and the aqueous solution extracted with 3×300 ml of dichloromethane. Drying of the organic phase over magnesium sulphate and evaporation in vacuo gave a red oil which was filtered through silica gel (eluent: methanol/ether=1/19). Removal of solvents in vacuo gave a yellow oil, 86. Yield: 30.0 g (0.170 mol, 34%).
