1-(6-Acetyl-pyridin-2-yl)-ethanone 2 (35.54 g, 0.22 mol), 25.0 g (0.168 mol) of 2-Isopropyl-6-methyl-phenylamine 14, 350 ml of n-propanol, and a few crystals of p-toluenesulfonic acid were stirred at room temperature for 36 h in a 500 ml flask under a flow of the nitrogen. The resultant yellow precipitate was filtered and washed by 20 ml of methanol. It was then dried at 1-mm vacuum overnight. The yield of 1-{6-[1-(2-Isopropyl-6-methyl-phenylimino)-ethyl]-pyridin-2-yl}-ethanone 15 was 13.35 g (27%) as a yellow solid.
