Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 64 parts of methyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylate, 305 parts of nitromethane and 3.02 parts of 1,2-ethanediamine was stirred and refluxed for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated. The residue was taken up in trichloromethane. The solution was washed twice with a dilute hydrochloric acid solution, dried, filtered and evaporated, yielding 70 parts (87.2%) of methyl 3,6-dihydro-3-methyl-4-(nitromethyl)-1(2H)-pyridinecarboxylate as a residue (intermediate 1).
