Procedure

To 100 g (0.73 mol) of 4-tert-butyl-pyridine and 31.0 g (0.79 mol) of sodium amide was added 181 mL (1.5 mol) of N,N,-dimethylaniline. The reaction mixture was heated with stirring under nitrogen for 7 hours at 150° C. After cooling, the reaction mixture was added to 400 mL of ice. ˜250 mL of ethyl acetate was added to the mixture to extract the organic phase. The organic phase was evaporated and fractional distilled. About ˜50 g (45% yield) of 2-amino-4-tert-butylpyridine was obtained. MS results confirmed the desired products.
