N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4-nitropyridin-2-amine (Int-21, 27.8 g, 0.11 mol) and anisole (13 mL, 0.12 mol) were dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (112 mL) and heated at 80° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to rt and concentrated. Trituration of the resulting residue with EtOAc and hexanes produced a light yellow solid that was isolated via filtration. The filtrate was allowed to stand overnight and a second crop of crystals was obtained. The combined batches of solids were dissolved in 1N NaOH (250 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×250 mL). The combined organic solutions were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 4-nitropyridin-2-amine as an orange solid (10.2 g, 67%). LCMS: (FA) ES+ 140; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ ppm 8.15 (dd, J=5.7, 0.6 Hz, 1H), 7.23 (dd, J=2.0, 0.6 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (dd, J=5.7, 2.0 Hz, 1H).
