Toluene → 3-Nitro-6-phenylpyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under an argon stream, a mixture of 6-chloro-3-nitro-2-pyridine amine (2.0 g), phenylboric acid (2.1 g), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (1.3 g), 2 M sodium carbonate (35 ml), toluene (40 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) was stirred at 90° C. for 12 hours. The mixture was distributed into ethyl acetate-tetrahydrofuran (3:1, v/v) and water. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration to obtain 3-nitro-6-phenyl-2-pyridine amine (1.3 g, 53%).
