Methane → 5-Morpholinopyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a round bottom flask, 4-(6-Nitro-pyridin-3-yl)-morpholine (1.67 g, 0.00798 mol), 20% Pd(OH)2/C, 50% wet (10:40:50, Palladium hydroxide:carbon black:Water, 0.350 g, 0.000249 mol), and Ethanol (50 mL, 0.9 mol) were added into a parr bottle. The mixture was evacuated under house vacuum and charged with hydrogen at 35 pSi. The reaction was shaken at room temperature at 35 pSi. The solid was filtered. The solvent was removed under vacuum to afford an off white solid. The solid was triturated with Et2O, Filtered and washed with Et2O to give 5-Morpholin-4-yl-pyridin-2-ylamine as an off white solid (1.01, 70%).
