Reaction Steps

30 g of 91.7% pure 2-chloro-5-cyanopyridine were hydrogenated in 100 ml of methylformate using 7 g of Raney cobalt analogously to Example 2. 2-Chloro-5-(formylaminomethyl)pyridine was obtained in a yield of 92.6% of theory, in addition to 2.9% of theory of 2-chloro-5-(aminomethyl)pyridine.
