Aluminium lithium hydride → 3-(Aminomethyl)-N-(2,4-dimethoxvbenzal)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (1.0 M in THF, 11.4 mL, 11.4 mmol) was added slowly to a solution of 2-[(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)amino]nicotinonitrile (2.80 g, 10.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (35 mL) at 0° C. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stir for 4 h. The reaction was carefully quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, filtered with copious dichloromethane and concentrated to produce the title compound (2.92 g). MS 274.3 (M+1).
