Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 6-fluoropyridin-2-amine (448 mg, 4 mmol) and 2-methylpiperidine (596 mg, 6 mmol) in water (0.5 mL) was heated to 205° C. in a microwave oven for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was purified by chromatography (silica gel, 200-300 mesh, petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=10:1) to give 6-(2-methylpiperidin-1-yl)pyridin-2-amine (376 mg, 49%) as a brown oil. LC-MS: [M+H]+, 192.2, tR=1.266 min.
