N-(2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-6-methoxy-3-nitropyridin-2-amine → N2-(2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-6-methoxypyridine-2,3-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-6-(methyloxy)-3-nitro-2-pyridinamine (35.00 g, 123.6 mmol) was divided into 2 aliquots, each of which was taken up in 1,4-dioxane (500 ml) and hydrogenated over 10% Pd on carbon (paste, 1:1 w:w with water, 4.00 g) under 1 atm. hydrogen pressure, at room temperature overnight. The mixtures were filtered with suction though Celite, using an argon blanket and taking care to minimise contact of the product with air. The solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a deep purple oil. This was used immediately in the next step.
