Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of [4-(1-ethyl-propylamino)-6-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenoxy)-pyridin-3-yl]-acetonitrile (800 mg, 2.27 mmol), 6 ml of 85% phosphoric acid and 2 ml of water was heated at reflux for 2 hours and cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was neutralized with 2N NaOH and extracted twice with chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried and concentrated to give a yellow solid. The solid was purified through silica gel column chromatography using hexane to 6% ethyl acetate in hexane as eluent to give 730 mg (92.2%) of a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 6.87(s,2H), 6.5(s,1H), 4.1(m,1H), 3.12(s,2H), 2.38(s,3H), 2.30(s,3H), 2.10(s,3H), 1.7–2.0(m,4H), 0.8(t,6H) ppm.
