Reaction Steps

The 2-chloro-5-benzoylpyridine (100 g, 0.460 mol) was dissolved in 500 ml of 3A EtOH and 400 ml of anhydrous ammonia, placed in a bomb, then heated at 145° C. for 16 hours. The solvents were removed in vacuo and the remaining tan solid was recrystallized from EtOH/H2O yielding 77.4 g (85%) of product as a tan solid. EA, MS(FD).
