Procedure

5.1 ml of 5N HCl was added to a solution of 2.53 ml of 4-picolylamine and 1.66 g of sodium cyanate in 50 ml of water. After 5 hours, a further 0.166 g of cyanate were added and the pH adjusted to 7.5. After 18 hours the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness, the residue extracted with 100 ml of hot 2-propanol. The filtrate was concentrated, cooled and the solid collected to give the title compound (3.03 g) mp 194-6° C. A further 0.63 g could be isolated as second and third crops.
