Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-5-cyano-4-methylpyridine (200 mg, 1.50 mmol) in a mixture of ethanol (17 mL) and methanol (7 mL) was hydrogenated for 48 h at atmospheric pressure in the presence of 1N hydrochloric acid (3 mL) and 10% palladium-on-charcoal (50 mg). The catalyst was removed by filtration through Celite, the filter washed with methanol, and the combined filtrate and washings evaporated. Crystallization from chloroform-methanol afforded pure title compound; yield 98 mg (31%).
