Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-6-methyl-3-(3-methylbenzoyl)pyridine (2.45 g, 10 mmol) and 70% ethylamine aqueous solution (10 ml) was sealed in a tube and stirred for 4 hours at 100° C. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and transferred into a separating funnel. This was adjusted to pH 1 with 1 N hydrochloric acid, vigorously shaken, adjusted to pH 10 by adding 1 N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and then extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate was removed by filtration and then the filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure. Thereafter, the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to give 2-ethylamino-6-methyl-3-(3-methylbenzoyl)pyridine (2.10 g, 83%) as a yellow oily material.
