Stannous chloride dihydrate → 2-N,2-N-diethylpyridine-2,5-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following procedures similar to those disclosed in Artland, et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem., Vol. 14, 129-134 (1977), the reaction of 10.0 g (0.0512 mole) of 2-diethylamino-5-nitropyridine with 147.0 g (0.659 mole) of tin (II) chloride dihydrate in diethyl ether and concentrated hydrochloric acid produced a residue. This reaction was repeated, and the residues were combined, giving a total of 20 g. The combined residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with acetone to yield 16.2 g of 5-amino-2-diethylaminopyridine as an oil. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
