Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1000 mg (4.35 mmol) N-amino-N′, N″-dimethyl-guanidine hydriodide (Henry; Smith; J. Amer. Chem. Soc.; 73; 1951; 1858) and 774 mg (4.35 mmol) isonicotinoyl chloride hydrochloride in 3 ml of pyridine was heated with microwaves for 5 min at 160° C. K2CO3(sat) was added and the mixture was extracted 4 times with CHCl3. The organic phase was dried and concentrated. Recrystallization from ethanol, water and EtOAc gave 216 mg (26%) of a yellow white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO), d (ppm): 2.85 (d, 3 H) 3.45 (s, 3 H) 6.25 (d, 1 H) 7.65 (m, 2 H) 8.67 (m, 2 H).
