Participants

Reaction Steps

Add 4N HCl in dioxane (17 mL, 68 mmol) to [1-(6-cyano-pyridin-2-yl)-1-methyl-ethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1.2 g, 5 mmol). Stir the solution at room temperature for 10 minutes and observe the formation of a white solid. Stir the reaction at room temperature for 4 hours. Evaporate the solvent to give 6-(1-amino-1-methyl-ethyl)-pyridine-2-carbonitrile hydrochloride salt as a white solid (880 mg, 97% yield).
