✦ Synopsis


Bis[di(2-pyridyl)

methyl]amine (BDPMA) has been syn-in the synthesis of BDPMA due to a disfavored equilibrium towards the imine formation and therefore long reaction thesized by refluxing di-2-pyridyl ketone and di-(2pyridyl)methylamine in isopropanol in the presence of times were required, involving side reactions. The presented method can be used on large-scales and tolerates aromatic molecular sieves and acetic acid and subsequent reduction with zinc dust. The established methods for reductive heterocycles as functional groups. amination, i.e. NaBH 3 CN, NaBH(OAc) 3 and NaBH 4 , failed
