HCID 12228441N-Pyridin-2-ylmethyl-formamide

Procedure

A mixture of 32.4 g. of 2-aminomethylpyridine and 96 ml. of 97% formic acid is heated under reflux for 3.5 hrs. The resulting solution is subjected to vacuum distillation, the desired product being isolated as the fraction boiling at 120° C./0.03 mm, 37.3 g. The product which is isolated as a yellow oil crystallized to a solid having a melting point at about room temperature.
