Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

10.12 g (165.68 mmol) of 2-aminoethanol are added to 1.00 g (7.06 mmol) of 6-chloronicotinaldehyde, and the reaction mixture is then stirred at 135° C. for 14 h. This gives a yellow solution which is fractionated by distillation in a kugelrohr apparatus (2.2 mbar, 100° C.). The fraction comprising the desired product is then directly reacted further.
