Procedure

A 15% n-hexane solution (338.6 g.) of n-butyllithium was dropwise added to a solution of 6-[N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]-2-methylpyridine (100 g.) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (300 ml.) at -20° to -30° C. over one hour and the solution was stirred at 20° to 23° C. for one hour. The resultant solution was added in small portions to crushed dry ice (1 kg.) under stirring, and stirred till a room temperature. After removing tetrahydrofuran from the solution under reduced pressure, absolute ethanol (1 l) was added to the residue. 30% Ethanol solution (660 ml.) of hydrochloric acid was dropwise added to the solution at -5° to -10° C., and further hydrogen chloride gas was bubbled at 0° to 5° C. for 30 minutes and then the solution was stirred at 10° C. overnight. After removing ethanol from the resultant solution, the residue was dissolved in water, and washed with ethyl acetate 3 times. The solution was adjusted to pH 7 to 8 with sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product (54 g.) The product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (1 kg.) with an eluent (ethyl acetate+benzene) to give ethyl 2-(6-aminopyridin-2-yl)acetate (30.2 g.), mp 66° to 68° C.
