Participants

Reaction Steps

N4 -n-Butyl-6-methyl-N2,N2 -bis(phenylmethyl)pyridine-2,3,4-triamine (0.65 g, 1.7 mmole) was combined with toluene (10 mL) and acetyl chloride (0.12 mL, 1.7 mmole) and stirred at ambient temperature for 15 minutes. Phosphorous oxychloride (0.31 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with hexane:ethyl acetate (70:30) to provide 0.18 g of the desired product.
