This report presents the economics of Nicotinamide production from 2-methyl-1,5-pentanediamine (MPDA) in the United States. Initially, MPDA undergoes cyclic hydrogenation that gives 3-methylpiperidine. This compound is then dehydrogenated, yielding 3-methylpyridine, which reacts with ammonia to form 3-cyanopyridine. Finally, it is hydrolyzed to nicotinamide.
