Dimethylamine → HCID 83074072, compound

A solution of 2,6-dichloroisonicotinonitrile (2.50 g, 14.5 mmol) in 2 N Me2NH in THF (20 mL) is stirred in a sealed vessel at 105° C. for 24 h. The dark suspension is cooled to rt, diluted with EA (200 mL), washed with water (2×50 mL) followed by sat. aq. NaHCO3-solution (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give crude 2-chloro-6-dimethylamino-isonicotinonitrile; LC-MS: tR=0.96 min, [M+1]+=182.00. This material is dissolved in dioxane (100 mL) and Pd(dppf) (120 mg, 0.147 mmol) is added. To this solution, MeZnCl (5.02 g, 43.4 mmol, 2 M solution in THF) is slowly added. The mixture is stirred at rt for 30 min, then at 75° C. for 16 h. The orange suspension is cooled to rt, diluted with EA (150 mL) and washed with water (2×50 mL). The aq. washings are basified by adding NaOH and the precipitate that forms is filtered off. The filtrate is extracted with DCM (3×70 mL). The combined org. extracts are dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified by MPLC on silica gel eluting with EA containing methanol to give 2-dimethylamino-6-methyl-isonicotinonitrile (699 mg) as a brownish oil which slowly solidifies; LC-MS: tR=0.50 min, [M+1]+=162.05.
