Reaction Steps

The starting material is prepared as follows: The mixture of 17.4 g of 5-aminopyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester, 14.0 g of benzaldehyde and 100 ml of benzene is stirred and refluxed on a water separator for 6.5 hours. The resulting clear solution is evaporated, and the residue recrystallized from benzene-hexane first, then from acetonitrile-diethyl ether, to yield the 5-benzylideneaminopyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester, melting at 84°-89°.
