Procedure

2-bromo-5-pyridylmethyl bromide (25 g) in a solution of acentonitrile was added dropwise to a solution of ethylenediamine (30 g) in acetonitrile (80 ml) at 0° C. After the reaction was stirred at room temperature for some time, the produced insoluble salts were filtrated off and then the filtrate was concentrated on a water bath at 40° C. to give N-(2-bromo-5-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (22 g).

Workup

  1. filtrationthe produced insoluble salts were filtrated off
  2. concentrationthe filtrate was concentrated on a water bath at 40° C.
