2-(3-Aminopropylamino)-3-methylpyridine → 2-[N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-methylamino]-4-methylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Substituting 2-bromo-4-methylpyridine (25.8 g) for 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine and using the corresponding molar proportions of the other reagents in the method of Example 36(i) gave 2-(3-aminopropylamino)-4-methylpyridine (16.1 g), bp 120°-24° C.; 0.01-0.02 mm Hg. (ii) Substituting 2-(3-aminopropylamino)-4-methylpyridine (7.5 g) for 2-(3-aminopropylamino)-3-methylpyridine and using corresponding molar proportions of the other reagents in the method of Example 36(ii) gave 2-[N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-methylamino]-4-methylpyridine (3.53 g) as an oil. (iii) Substituting 2-[N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-methylamino]-4-methylpyridine (1.0 g) for 2-[N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-methyl amino]-3-methylpyridine and using corresponding molar proportions of the other reagents in method of Example 36(iii) gave 2-[3-[N-methyl-N-(4-methylpyrid-2-yl)amino] propylamino]-5-(6-methylpyrid-3-ylmethyl)pyrimid-4-one 1H2O, 0.56 g (26%) mp indeterminate (from ethanol/water).
