Sodium Bicarbonate → 6-(2-Aminopropan-2-yl)picolinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Partitioned 6-(1-amino-1-methyl-ethyl)-pyridine-2-carbonitrile hydrochloride salt (880 mg, 3.8 mmol) between dichloromethane and 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (10 mL). Separate the layers and extract with dichloromethane (3×10 mL). Dry the organic extracts (Na2SO4) and evaporate to give 6-(1-amino-1-methyl-ethyl)-pyridine-2-carbonitrile in quantitative yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.76-7.68 (m, 2H), 7.50 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 1.87-1.80 (m, 2H), 1.47 (s, 6H).
