Water → 6-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-amine

Reduced iron (1.3 g) and ammonium chloride (2.1 g) were added to water (40 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 min. A solution of 2-chloro-5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (1.8 g) in methanol (40 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Reduced iron (2.3 g) was added, and the mixture was further stirred at the same temperature for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and celite was washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=19:1→1:1) to give the title compound as a solid (yield 1.0 g, 65%).
