2-Ethenyl-5-nitropyridine → 6-Ethylpyridin-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% Palladium-carbon (50% wet, 90 mg) was added to 5-nitro-2-vinylpyridine (450 mg) in ethanol (30 mL), followed by stirring in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 15 hours. The catalyst was removed from the reaction mixture by filtration. Subsequently, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, to thereby give the title compound as an oily substance (359 mg, 98%).
