Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[(pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-propionic acid methyl ester (10.4 g, 50 mmol) in ethanol (50 mL) was added methylamine (24 g, 33 wt % solution in ethanol, 250 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 55° C. for 45 min. The solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue was recrystallized from hot ethyl acetate and hexanes. The yellow crystals thus obtained were washed with cold ethyl acetate and dried to give the desired product (5.2 g, 50%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.05 (br s, 1H), 8.77-8.70 (m, 2H), 8.24 (m, 2H), 7.89 (br s, 1H), 7.50 (m, 1H), 2.59 (d, J=4.7 Hz, 3H), 1.33 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 3H); ESIMS m/z 208.1 (M+1), m/z 206.1 (M-1).
