2-Methoxy-4,6-dimethyl-5-nitropyrimidine → 2-Methoxy-4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-methoxy-4,6-dimethyl-5-nitropyrimidine (3.37 g, 18.4 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL) was added 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 330 mg), and the mixture was purged with hydrogen and stirred under balloon pressure hydrogen at room temperature for 4 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (2.82 g, 18.4 mmol, 100%).
