Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,6-bis(cyanomethyl)pyridine (4.3 g, 27 mmol) in methanol (75 ml, saturated with ammonia) was added Raney nickel (10.0 g, excess) and the mixture hydrogenated at 45 psi and room temperature for 48 hours. The catalyst was filtered off and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to give 2,6-bis(2-aminoethyl)pyridine as a brown viscous oil (3.7 g, 83%). This was used without further purification.
