HCID 12228441N-Pyridin-2-ylmethyl-formamide

Procedure

2-Aminomethylpyridine (60 g.) was refluxed with 180 ml. of formic acid for 4 hours and left to stir for approximately 16 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated to an oil and purified; 2-formamidomethylpyridine obtained by distillation (72.3 g., b.p. 117°-141° C./0.5 mm.)
