2-Chloro-5-nitropyridine → HCID 4418042, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 27.6 g (0.174 mole) of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine in 500 ml of diethylamine was heated at reflux for two days. The excess diethylamine was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, leaving a residue. This residue was dissolved in methylene chloride, and the organic solution was washed with an aqueous, 10% sodium hydroxide solution. The washed organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and was filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 33.2 g of 2-diethylamino-5-nitropyridine as a solid. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
