A solution of the crude N-(4-amino-6-propyl-pyridin-3-yl)-acetamide (114 mg, 0.59 mmol) in THF (2.5 mL) at 0° C. under N2 is treated with 0.5 M EtNMe2.AlH3 in toluene (2.4 mL, 1.18 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred for 4 h while slowly warming to rt, whereupon it is treated with additional 0.5 M EtNMe2.AlH3 in toluene (2.4 mL, 1.18 mmol). After stirring at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture is cooled to 0° C. and treated with moist Na2CO3. The mixture is diluted with CH2Cl2 and stirred vigorously for 15 min. It is then filtered through a pad of Celite, and the filtrate concentrated. The crude material is partially purified by preparative thin layer chromatography, developing with 15:1 CHCl3-MeOH (+1% Et3N). The band containing the desired N3-ethyl-6-propyl-pyridine-3,4-diamine does not separate well from the approximately 10% of the slightly more polar, unreacted N-(4-amino-6-propyl-pyridin-3-yl)-acetamide. Both bands are collected, and the mixture is carried into the next reaction. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 7.74 (s, 1H), 6.42 (s, 1H), 4.10 (br, 1H), 3.67 (m, 1H), 3.10 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 2.56 (m, 2H), 1.67 (sextet, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 1.25 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H), 0.91 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H) ppm.
