Aluminium lithium hydride → 2-(Aminomethyl)-N-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)pyridin-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (1.0 M in THF, 13.3 mL, 13.3 mmol) was added slowly to a solution of 3-[(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)amino]pyridine-2-carbonitrile (3.25 g, 12.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 4 h. The reaction was carefully quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, filtered with copious dichloromethane and concentrated to produce the title compound (2.68 g). MS 274.3 (M+1).
