Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask were added 1.0 g 6-methyl-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2-amine, 0.84 g of pulverized potassium hydroxide and 15 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. After stirring for 1 hour under nitrogen, the mixture was cooled to 5 C and 0.85 g of 1-iodopropane were added. The mixture was allowed to warm to 22 C and stirred for 16 hours. After quenching with 15 ml water, the product was extracted twice with diethyl ether and washed with water. Following removal of solvent, the product was purified by silica gel chromatography using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 11.0 g of a colorless oil.
