Procedure

To a round bottom flask charged with tert-butyl (6-cyanopyridin-2-yl)carbamate (0.5383 g, 2.455 mmol) in dichloromethane (9.82 ml) was added TFA (2.455 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt 4 h. Excess TFA was removed in vacuo. The crude residue was taken up in methanol and free based using 2 parallel Phenomenex 5 g SCX columns. The columns were flushed with three column volumes methanol and three column volumes 3.5 N ammonia/methanol. The ammonia layers were concentrated in vacuo to provide 6-aminopicolinonitrile (0.312 g).
