Hexamethylenediamine → N-(2-aminophenyl)-6-(6-aminohexylamino)nicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2-Aminophenyl)-6-chloronicotinamide (248 mg, 1 mmol) and 1,6-diaminohexane (5.80 g, 50 mmol) were heated to 80° C. for 3 hours. The excess 1,6-diaminohexane was removed under vacuum. To the residue was added 5 ml of 0.20 M NaOH. The mixture was extracted with 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate was removed under vacuum to give the title compound (219 mg, 67% yield) as a brown solid. LC-MS (m/z) 328 (M+1).
