Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 4-Nitro-2,6-lutidine 1-oxide (21, 5.1 g, 30 mmol), palladized charcoal (10% Pd, 1 g) and acetic acid (2 ml) in methanol (200 ml) is hydrogenated under pressure (40 psi) over 10 hours using a hydrogenation apparatus. The reaction is followed with LC-MS. After filtration, the filtrate is concentrated. The remaining oil is further dried by lyophilization, yielding 4.5 g of 4-amino-2,6-lutidine (22) containing approximately 15% acetic acid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.3 (s, 6H), 7.2 (s, 2H). MS, m/z 123 (M+1), 243 (2M−1).
