Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-3-(2-methyl-6-methoxycarbonylaminobenzylideneamino)pyridine (229 mg) in methanol (4.6 ml) and chloroform (4.6 ml) was added sodium borohydride (200 mg) and the mixture was stirred for 3.5 hours at room temperature. After water was added, organic layer was separated and dried over magnesium chloride. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether to give 2-amino-3-(2-methyl-6-methoxycarbonylaminobenzylamino)pyridine (217 mg).
