1,2,5-Trimethyl-4-aminopiperidine and 3, 6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2-aminopyridine

1,2,5-Trimethylpiperid-4-one is used to prepare 1, 2, 5-trimethyl-4-aminopiperidine, which is then converted to 1, 2, 5-trimethyl-4-(diethylaminoacetylamino)piperidine. Amination of 2, 5-dimethyl-4-phenylpyridine is effected, and 3, 6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2-aminopyridine is thereby obtained.
