[Cl:1][C:2]1[C:7]([CH3:8])=[CH:6][C:5]([N+:9]([O-:11])=[O:10])=[C:4](Cl)[N:3]=1.[NH3:13].C(=O)([O-])[O-].[K+].[K+]>C(O)(C)(C)C>[Cl:1][C:2]1[N:3]=[C:4]([NH2:13])[C:5]([N+:9]([O-:11])=[O:10])=[CH:6][C:7]=1[CH3:8]A mixture of 2,6-dichloro-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (10.41 g, 50.3 mmol), 28% aqueous ammonia solution (17 ml, 0.25 mol), potassium carbonate (10.4 g, 75.5 mmol) and t-butanol (167 ml) was stirred overnight at 60° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring at room temperature for 3 hours, a precipitate was filtered and then washed three times with water, thereby yielding the title compound (4.25 g, 22.7 mmol, 45%) as a yellow solid.
