Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-Methoxy-6-methyl-pyridine-2-carboxamidine (1 eq, 32.9 mmol, 4.94 g) in EtOH (40 ml) and water (10 ml) at room temperature is added ammonium chloride (1 eq, 32.9 mmol, 1.76 g). The resulting mixture is heated to 80° C. for 4 hours and then allowed to cool to room temperature overnight. The solvent is removed in vacuo to afford the title compound which is used in subsequent steps without further purification. [2M+H]+=271
