Phosphoric Acid → HCID 23335406, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 50 ml. of 85% phosphoric acid is added with stirring 2,6-diaminopyridine (6.55 g., 0.06 mole) followed by 3,5-heptanedione (7.7 g., 0.06 mole). The mixture is heated on the steam bath under nitrogen atmosphere for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is poured into crushed ice and neutralized with concentrated ammonium hydroxide and extracted with methylene chloride (3×250 ml.). The combined extracts are dried, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Crystallization of the residue from ethyl acetate affords 2-amino-5,7-diethyl-1,8-naphthyridine melting at 187°-189° C.
