Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Isonicotinamide (2.00 g, 16.38 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide diethyl acetal (2.8 ml, 16.38 mmol) were combined and heated to 120° C. A short path distillation apparatus was used to collect the ethanol that was liberated during the reaction. The reaction mixture was an orange solution. After 15 minutes, additional N,N-dimethylformamide diethyl acetal (1.0 ml, 5.83 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. After 1.5 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture solidified upon cooling and was placed under high vacuum overnight to give the title compound (2.92 g, 16.48 mmol) as a yellow solid.
