Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)pyridine-2-carbonitrile (2.53 g, 17.1 mmol) obtained in Step 4 was dissolved in THF (40.0 mL), then phthalimide (3.02 g, 20.5 mmol), triphenylphosphine (5.38 g, 20.5 mmol), and a DEAD-toluene solution (40.0%, 8.93 g, 20.5 mmol) were added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Diethyl ether was added to the residue, and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration. Ethanol (200 mL) and hydrazine monohydrate (2.57 g, 51.3 mmol) were added to the resulting solid, and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 2 hours. After the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and a further precipitate was collected by filtration. A hydrogen chloride-ethyl acetate solution (4.00 mol/L, 50.0 mL, 200 mmol) was added to the filtrate, and precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to give 4-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine-2-carbonitrile dihydrochloride (2.05 g, yield 55%).
