A solution of tin tetrachloride (24 ml) in toluene (70 ml) was added to a stirred solution of 3-amino-2-pentenenitrile (10 g) (obtained as described in J. Het. Chem., 1989, 26, 1575) and methyl propionylacetate (13.4 g) in toluene (150 ml). The mixture was heated at reflux for 6 hours and then stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. Saturated sodium carbonate solution was added to the stirred mixture until the aqueous phase was basic (pH>9). Ether (200 ml) was added to the mixture and the precipitated tin salts removed by filtration through diatomaceous earth. The organic phase of the filtrate was separated, washed with sodium chloride solution and dried (MgSO4). Solvent was removed by evaporation and the residue was extracted with hot hexane (3×50 ml). The combined hexane extracts were evaporated and the residue was dissolved in minimum of hot hexane. The solution was then cooled at 4° C. for 16 hours when a yellow solid crystallised. The solid (7.3 g) was collected by filtration and purified by flash chromatography eluting with dichloromethane/methanol (1:19 v/v) to give methyl 4-amino-2,6-diethylpyridine-3-carboxylate (B) (6 g) as a light yellow solid, m.p. 75° C.; NMR (CDCl3): 1.25(t,6H), 2.65(q,2H), 2.95(q,2H), 3.9(s,3H), 5.65(broad s,2H), 6.25(s,1H); mass spectrum (chemical ionisation (CI), ammonia): 209(M+H)+.
