Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-cyanopyridine (10.4 g), aniline (101.8 g) and a 5% rhodium on carbon catalyst (1.0 g) was treated with hydrogen at 60 psig 30 deg C. for 13 hours in a rocking autoclave. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate analyzed by glc to show 3.7 g of N-phenyl-N-(3-pyridylmethyl)amine.
