Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 5-bromo-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-nitropyridine (0.19 g, 0.61 mmol) in EtOAc (10 mL) was added tin(II) chloride dihydrate (0.70 g, 3.10 mmol) in portions. Upon complete addition of the reducing agent, the mixture was carefully heated to 70° C. After 23 h, the reaction was cooled to rt and diluted with ethyl acetate, then washed with 1M NaOH, water, and brine. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtration, the organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The beige solid was identified as mostly 5-bromo-2-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyridin-3-amine. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.99 (1H, quin, J=1.6 Hz), 7.30 (1H, m), 7.12 (2H, m), 6.87 (1H, m), 3.96 (2H, br. s.), 3.72 (3H, t, J=1.4 Hz).
