2,2-Diphenylethylamine → HCID 19734493, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isopropyl N-cyano-3-pyridinecarboximidate (0.50 g, 2.6 mmol) was dissolved .in methanol (10 ml), and 2,2- diphenylethylamine (0.58 g, 2.9 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual concentrate thus obtained was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column (WAKO GEL C-200, 30 g) eluting with chloroform-methanol (100:1). The eluted fractions were concentrated under reduced pressure to give N-cyano-N'-(2,2-diphenylethyl)-3-pyridinecarboximidamide (0.61 g, 1.9 mmol, yield: 71%) as colorless syrup. Next, to this syrup was added a 5% hydrogen chloride solution in methanol (2.5 ml). The solution was crystallized from methanol-diethyl ether to give N-cyano-N'-(2,2-diphenylethyl)-3-pyridinecarboximidamide hydrochloride as colorless powder.
