Procedure

Iron (Fe) powder (9.75 g, 0.174 mol, Sigma-Aldrich) was added in portions over a period of 2 h to a stirred solution of 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (10 g, 0.058 mol, Combi-blocks) in acetic acid/water (29 mL: 88 mL). After 3 h, the reaction mixture was filtered through celite and the filter cake was washed with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to yield 6-chloro-5-methylpyridine-3-amine as a brown solid (8.0 g; 97%). MS m/z=142.03 [M+H]+.
