Reaction Steps

2-chloro-6-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (5.0 g) and conc ammonium hydroxide (150 mL) were heated at 180° C. in a steel reaction vessel with mechanical stirring overnight. The contents were allowed to cool and partitioned between CH2Cl2 and water. The CH2 Cl2 layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo leaving 2-amino-6-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine as a white solid.
