Sodium Hydroxide → 2-Nitro-6-(pyridin-4-yl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(2-nitro-6-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)acetamide (XCIII) (3.94 g, 15 mmol, 1 eq) in methanol (20 mL) was added 2 N aqueous NaOH solution (50 mL) and the mixture was refluxed until the starting material was consumed completely, the precipitate was collected by filtration to afford the 2-nitro-6-(pyridin-4-yl)aniline (XCIV) (3.0 g, 13.9 mmol, 91% yield) as yellow solid. ESIMS found for C11H9N3O2 m/z 216 (M+H).
