Procedure
In a round-bottom flask, to a dichloromethane (125 mL) solution of 2-bromo-5-nitropyridine (5 g, 24.6 mmol), morpholine (5.4 mL, 61.5 mmol) was added. The reaction was refluxed for 4 hr, then cooled to room temperature. The solution was subsequently washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. 4-(5-Nitropyridin-2-yl)morpholine, a yellow solid, was obtained: 4.9 g (95% yield); 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.95 (d, J=2.7, 1H), 8.22 (dd, J=2.7, 9.6, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=9.6, 1H), 3.74-3.65 (m, 8H); LCMS (M+) m/z 210.34.
