Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-ethyl-2-hydroxy-6-methylnicotinonitrile (0.5 g, 3.08 mmol) in methanol (10 mL), Raney Ni and ammonia (1 mL) were added and reaction stirred under hydrogen balloon pressure for 3 h. On completion, reaction mass was filtered through celite bed and filtrate concentrated to obtain the desired product (0.45 g, 87.9%).
