Reaction Steps

Dissolve 5-chloromethyl-nicotinonitrile (4.9 mg, 0.032 mmol) in 2.0M NH3 in MeOH (1 mL). Transfer this solution to a pressure tube. Heat the reaction solution at 80° C. for 2 h. Rotary evaporate the reaction solution (40° C.) to yield 5.1 mg of crude 5-aminomethyl-nicotinonitrile as a yellow oil. MS (m/e): 134.00 (M+1).
