Reaction Steps

The process according to the present invention is particularly suitable for the preparation of 2-aminomethyl-3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine, by reaction of in the first step 2,3-dichloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine with nitromethane in the presence of potassium tert-butanolate, sodium tert-butanolate, or potassium hydroxide in DMSO as diluent to give 3-chloro-2-nitromethyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine, which in the second step is hydrogenated in hydrochloric acid using palladium on carbon as catalyst to yield 3-chloro-2-aminomethyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine.
