Methylamine → 1,1-Ethenediamine, N-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N'-methyl-2-nitro-

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of EtOH was dissolved 1.2 g (4.6×10-3 mole) of 1-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)amino-1-methylthio-2-nitroethylene and on reflux, a solution of 0.84 g of 40% aqueous methylamine in 30 ml EtOH was added dropwise over 1 hour. After cooling, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to about 50 ml and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration and dried to give 0.6 g of the title compound as pale yellow needles.
