Ethanol → 3-Amino-2-methylamino-6-phenylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A procedure similar to that described in Example 6 was repeated, except that 5.7 g of 2-methylamino-3-nitro-6-phenylpyridine (prepared as described in Preparation 108) were hydrogenated in 200 ml of a 1:1 by volume mixture of ethanol and 1,4-dioxane in the presence of 1.14 g of 10% w/w palladium-on-charcoal. After working up the product as described in Example 6, 4.9 g of the title compound having Rf=0.08 (on silica gel thin layer chromatography using a 1:5 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane as the developing solvent) were obtained.
