Hydrochloric Acid → 6-(Piperidin-3-ylamino)nicotinonitrile hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.24 g (3.4 mmol) of tert-butyl 3-[(5-cyanopyridin-2-yl)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate (Example 35A) were dissolved in 4.3 ml of a solution of hydrochloric acid in dioxane (4 M), and the mixture was stirred at RT for 3 h. After the reaction had gone to completion, the solvent was removed completely. This gave 1.74 g (90% of theory) of the product as a solid.
