This compound can be obtained by three different ways: 1) By condensation of nicotinoyl chloride (I) with 1,2-diaminopropane (IV) by means of triethylamine in pyridine. 2) By reaction of nicotinic acid (II) with 1,2-diaminopropane (IV) by means of ethyl chloroformate and triethylamine in THF. 3) By heating at 120 C a mixture of methyl nicotinate (III) with 1,2-diaminopropane (IV).
