Reaction Steps

5-Iodo-3-nitro-2-fluoropyridine (1.739 g, 6.49 mmol), ethanol (13 mL), water (2 mL), and concentrated HCl (0.20 mL) were added to a 25 mL round bottom flask and allowed to stir. Iron (3.6 g, 64.4 mmol) was added in portions to the reaction followed by heating at 80° C. for 30 min. The iron was then removed and washed with ethanol over a fritted filter while the ethanol washings were concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography using 1:2 hexane:ethyl acetate as eluent to give 5-Iodo-2-fluoro-3-aminopyridine as a colorless solid (53%, 0.821 g).
