Procedure

To 5.0 g of ethyl 2-pyridylacetate dissolved in 25 ml of MeOH was added 20 ml of dimethyl amine. The mixture was heated at 90° in a steel autoclave for 96 hrs. The solvent/amine mixture was allowed to evaporate until a residual oil was obtained. The residual oil was distilled to afford 4.5 g of the desired N,N-dimethyl-(2-pyridyl)acetamide as a free-flowing yellow oil, bp 105°-110°/0.5 mm.
