Procedure
To a mixture of 2-chloro-5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (2 g, 8.83 mmol) in acetic acid (10 mL) was added iron (2.465 g, 44.1 mmol) in one portion. The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 15 min. The mixture was filtered and concentrated and then washed with aq. NaOH and extracted with EA. The crude material was purified by silica column chromatography (PE/EA=5:1). All fractions found to contain product by TLC (PE/EA=8:1, Rf=0.6) were combined and concentrated to yield a yellow solid of 6-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-amine (1 g, 4.58 mmol, 51.9% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.06 (s, 1H), 7.86 (d, J=8.60 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (d, J=8.60 Hz, 1H), 7.46-7.26 (m, 5H), 4.16-4.11 (m, 2H), 3.81 (s, 2H), 1.47 (t, J=6.62 Hz, 3H); ES-LCMS m/z 197.0 (M+H).
