Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.7 g 2-chloro-6-methyl-4-trifluoromethyl-pyridine and 80 g ammonia was heated in an autoclave at 120° C. for 24 h. Ammonia was allowed to evaporate and the residue was purified on silica gel with methylene chloride:methanol:ammonia=9:1:0.1 to yield 4.01 g of the title compound as off white crystals MS (ISP) M+H+=177.1 melting at 53.5-54.5° C.
