A mixture of 2-chloro-5-cyanopyridine (0.60 M) in acetonitrile (120 ml) and ethylene diamine (85 ml) were stirred overnight (ca. 16 h) at 75-80° C. under argon. The ethylene diamine was removed under reduced pressure and then dried in vacuo for 2-3 h. The residual solution was basified with 1 M sodium hydroxide solution (˜100 ml). The aqueous solution was saturated with sodium chloride and extracted with a solution of 95% ethyl acetate and 5% methanol (3×150 ml) and with a solution of 95% acetonitrile and 5% methanol (3×150 ml). The organic extracts were combined and extracted with a saturated sodium chloride solution (2×70 ml). The organic layer was dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude white to tan solid was triturated with ether (2×50 ml) and dried overnight in vacuo resulting in 78% yield of 6-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]pyridine-3-carbonitrile.
