Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.0 g (7.46 mmole) of 2-cyano-6-methoxypyridine, 0.37 g (4.48 mmole) of sodium acetate, 25 ml of acetic anhydride and about 1.0 g of Raney nickel was hydrogenated on a Paar apparatus for about 5.5 hours. The mixture was filtered, and then evaporated with warming in vacuo to provide 2-acetamidomethyl-6-methoxypyridine. The structural assignment was supported by infrared spectral analysis.
