Triethylamine → 2-(pyridin-3-yl)acetamide

Temperature

0 °C

A solution of 3-pyridylacetic acid hydrochloride (2.6 g), triethylamine (1.52 g), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (3.16 g) and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (2.52 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (40 ml) was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes. (2E,4E)- and (2Z,4E)-4-Methyl-2,4-heptadien-1-ylamine (2.69 g) was added to the solution. The solution was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours and then at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (4% methanol-chloroform) to give N-[(2E,4E)- and (2Z,4E)-4-methyl-2,4-heptadien-1-yl]-3-pyridylacetamide (3.19 g) as an oil.
