Reaction Steps

To a suspension of (2-methoxy-ethyl)-(6-methyl-5-nitro-pyridin-2-yl)-amine (421 mg, 2 mmol) and 5 ml of acetic acid, Zn dust (781 mg, 12 mmol) was added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hour. Zn dust was filtered through celite and the residue was purified by HPLC to provide N2-(2-Methoxy-ethyl)-6-methyl-pyridine-2,5-diamine as an oil (140 mg, 39%). Exact mass calculated for C9H15N3O 181.12 found 182.2 (MH+).
