3-Nitro-N-(pyridin-4-yl)pyridin-2-amine → HCID 12445535, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 16.5 g of 2-(4-pyridylamino)-3-nitro-pyridine in 400 ml of 95% ethanol containing 1.6 g of 10% palladized carbon was hydrogenated at 30°-40° C. at atmospheric pressure until 5.8 liters of hydrogen were absorbed and the mixture was filtered to remove the catalyst. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was taken up in petroleum ether. The mixture was filtered to obtain 13.5 g (95% yield) of raw product melting at 202°-204° C. which was crystallized from 95% ethanol to obtain 2-(4-pyridylamino)-3-amino-pyridine in the form of a pale yellow, crystalline powder melting at 203°-205° C.
