Reaction Steps

In air, 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (36.0 mg, 32.0 μL, 0.336 mmol, 1.00 equiv) was added to a solution of di-o-tolylmethanamine (73.1 mg, 0.346 mmol, 1.03 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL). After heating at reflux for 30 min with azeotropic removal of water using a Dean-Stark trap, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and dried under high vacuum to give ligand (L-3), (E)-N-(Pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-1,1-dio-tolylmethanamine, as a yellow oil (0.102 g, 98% yield).
