Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-5-methyl-N4 -(1,1-dimethylethyl)-N2,N2 -bis(phenylmethyl)pyridine-2,3,4-triamine was combined with an excess of triethyl orthoacetate and heated first on a steam bath for about 16 hours and then in an oil bath at 130° C. for 2 hours. The excess triethyl orthoacetate was distilled off under vacuum. The resulting residue was diluted with methylene chloride, washed with water and sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate then filtered through a layer of silica gel eluting with additional methylene chloride. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to provide a mixture which was carried on to the next step.
