Benzenemethanamine, 3,4-dichloro- → N-cyano-N'-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4-pyridinecarboximidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isopropyl N-cyano-4-pyridinecarboximidate (0.50 g, 2.6 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (10 ml), and 3,4-dichlorobenzylamine (0.52 g, 3.0 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual concentrate was crystallized from methanol-diethyl ether to give the title compound (0.42 g, 1.4 mmol, yield: 52%) as colorless crystals.
