Ammonia → 2-[(2-amino-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-N-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

8.747 g (19.4 mmol) of 2-[(2-bromo-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-N-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-benzamide is heated with 175 mg of copper(I) oxide in 150 ml of ethanediol for 23 hours under 10 bar of ammonia pressure to 80° C. in an autoclave. After the solvent is distilled off in a vacuum, the residue is purified on silica gel with a gradient of ethyl acetate:ethanol=100:0 to 0:100 as an eluant. 4.15 g (51% of theory) of 2-[(2-amino-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-N-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-benzamide with a melting point of 64° C. is obtained.
