Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl N-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2-pyridyl)-N-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)carbamate (14.8 g, 53 mmol) in glacial acetic (200 ml) containing platinum oxide catalyst (1.1 g) is hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus until two equivalents of hydrogen are taken up (20 hours). The catalyst is removed by filtration and the solvent evaporated to give a residue which is dissolved in water, made basic with sodium carbonate, and the crude product extracted into methylene chloride. This dried solution is evaporated to give a crude product (12.5 g) which is crystallized from cyclohexane to yield 7.2 g of pure title C product; m.p.: 139°-141° C.
