Procedure

To a heterogeneous solution of 6-bromo-3-methoxy-2-nitropyridine (32) (2.32 g, 10 mmol) in of ethanol:water (40 mL, each) were added iron powder (2.8 g, 50 mmol), followed by ammonium chloride (2.64 g, 50 mmol) at room temperature. The resulting heterogeneous mixture was then stirred at 70-75° C. for 15 minutes, filtered through celite (when hot), washed with ethanol (2×50 mL) and solvent was then removed under reduced pressure. The residue upon dilution with water afforded a solid, which was isolated by filtration to give 2-amino-6-bromo-3-methoxypyridine (33). LCMS: purity: 95%, MS (m/z): 203 (MH+).
