2-(3-Cyanophenylamino)-6-chloro-3-nitropyridine → 3-(3-Amino-6-chloropyridin-2-ylamino)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

In step 1-2, Raney nickel was added to a suspension of 3-(6-chloro-3-nitropyridin-2-ylamino)benzonitrile in methanol/dichloromethane (1:1) and the resulting suspension was set up in Parr shaker under a hydrogen atmosphere (40 psi) for 18 hours. The remaining catalyst was removed through a Celite pad, and the reaction mixture was concentrated to afford the crude product 3-(3-amino-6-chloropyridin-2-ylamino)benzonitrile (1-2) which was used in the next step without further purification.
