3,3-Diphenylpropylamine → N-cyano-N'-(3,3-diphenylpropyl)-3-pyridinecarboximidamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isopropyl N-cyano-3-pyridinecarboximidate (0.60 g, 3.2 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (10 ml), and 3,3-diphenylpropylamine (0.74 g, 3.5 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. The residual concentrate thus obtained was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column (WAKO GEL C-200, 50 g) eluting with chloroform-methanol (100:1). The eluted fractions were concentrated under reduced pressure and crystallized from methanol-diethyl ether to give the title compound (0.68 g, 2.0 mmol, yield: 63%) as colorless powder.
