4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzylamine → N-cyano-N'-[4 (trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-3-pyridinecarboximidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isopropyl N-cyano-3-pyridinecarboximidate (0.50 g, 2.6 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (10 ml), and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine (0.51 g, 2.9 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the concentrated residue thus obtained was crystallized from diethyl ether to give the title compound (0.53 g, 1.7 mmol, yield: 66%) as colorless crystals.
